11 Reasons Babies Cry
Thursday, October 15, 2009
According to Baby Center there are 11 main reasons why babies cry. Well for one crying is their only means of communicating so as parents we should be able to decipher these cries to make parenting easier. You'd think its this simple - believe me its not.
Babies cry because....
1. They are hungry.
2. Have a dirty/wet diaper.
3. Sleepy
4. Wants to be held
5. Tummy troubles (gas, colic, and more)
6. Needs to burp
7. Too cold or too hot
8. Something small
9. Teething
10. Feeling overwhelmed
11. Not feeling well
Right now, my 1-month old boy cries mostly because he enjoys being held! We could barely put him down in his crib because he would notice and thus wake up. Swaddling seems to help. Also, I noticed he doesn't like it when its warm. He doesn't mind the noise and if there's light or not. It's hard but I make it a point to put him down so that he won't get used to being carried all the time.
