What to Do When Your Baby Is Crying?

As a parent, your little baby relies on you completely for everything they need. They count on you to feed them, comfort them, and make sure they are safe, warm, and taken care of. When babies cry, it’s their way of telling you that something is wrong.

It's not always easy to know why a baby is crying and may require a bit of investigating as well as trial and error to understand what they need. Fortunately, as your baby grows, she'll learn other ways to communicate with you with eye contact, noises, and smiling, making baby care much easier.

Here are some reasons why your baby may cry and what to do to soothe them.

Reasons Why Your Baby is Crying

Hunger

Feelings of hunger are probably one of the most common reasons why babies cry, especially newborns. Keeping to a baby feeding schedule can curb their hunger so they cry less.

Need attention

Your baby needs lots of reassurance, cuddling, and physical contact. So, her crying may mean that she just wants to be held. Swaying and singing to her while you hold her close will help to distract and comfort her.

Dirty diaper

Your baby may make a lot of raucous if she has a wet or soiled nappy. Have the clean nappies & wipes close to the changing table so you can get it all done at lightning speed. Distracting your baby with a toy or a song can also make the process of changing diapers go smoother.

Feeling unwell

If your baby's unwell, she'll probably cry in a different way than you’re used to or if she has become unusually quiet, this may also be a sign that she's not well.

Teething

Teething can also cause your baby to be more fussy than usual. Babies are often restless and irritable before a new tooth comes in. Soothers & Teethers can help soothe pain caused by teething.
