7 Reasons about Why Your Newborn Keep Crying

When you bring your newborn home from the hospital, nothing catches your attention more than his first little cry. Then the guessing game begins. Is he hungry, tired, wet or hot? If you listen very closely to your baby's type of cry, pitch, frequency and context, chances are pretty good you will be able to interpret his needs and give him exactly what he is asking for. Here are the 7 reasons of cries babies produce, as well as some possible solutions for parents.

1. Hungry cries

If your baby is crying softly and rhythmically, with increasing intensity, and sucking his hand hard, he's probably telling you he's hungry. Your baby may be experiencing a growth spurt at that time, during which your baby will want to eat more than usual. Try to respond to your child's hunger cries as soon as possible.

2. Tired cries

Another cry to pay attention to is a tired cry. This cry is usually whiny and more persistent, and it can escalate if your baby's needs aren't being met quickly. During this time, your baby may rub his eyes. Respond to his cries with swaddling to make him feel controlled and safe. Swaddling, sucking on a pacifier can calm them immediately.

3. Sick cries

If your baby is not feeling well, you may hear his sick cry. This is a faint, nasal, whimpering cry, usually low-pitched. When you hear this cry, pay attention to your baby immediately and check if he has a fever or got sick. Also check your baby whether have a diarrhea and make sure he is eating properly

4. Bored cries

Your baby may also cry out of boredom. This cry usually starts with a cooing sound and then turns into an attempt to get your attention with rapid bursts of cries. You should respond to this by giving your baby attention. Don't worry, your baby isn't crying to manipulate you; he's just trying to get your attention.

5. Colic cries

You may experience uncomfortable, high-pitched baby crying that usually begins at night and lasts for several hours. It could be colic. Babies who experience colic are often highly sensitive.

6. I’m wet and dirty

No one likes to sit in their own wet and dirty poo, and dirty diapers can irritate a baby's sensitive skin. Try some diaper-free time between diaper changes to avoid diaper rash, just remember to keep a protective towel underneath. Being good at quick replacement can avoid the tearing and feeling of exposure caused by cold air.

7. I’m too hot or too cold

If your baby is cold, such as when you undress her for a diaper change or clean her bottom with cold wipes, she may protest by crying. Newborns love to be wrapped and kept warm -- but not too warm. As a rule, they are comfortable wearing one more layer than you need to be comfortable
