Crying Babies
Do you ever sit at
night and think why has my baby been crying all day?, Or
what is he/she crying for?. Have you not found any answers
yet, there could be lots of reasons for the crying, as this is
the only way your baby can express to you how they feel or
what they want.

Some parents feel
they are failing their crying babies because they don’t
know what is the matter. But all is not lost, when you
and baby get to know each other better, both of you will
realise which cry is for what reason and, if you feel
stressed or anxious your child feels it too this is a
learning process for both you and
baby.
By the time baby
reaches four to six months old, you will be able to notice
the difference between the painful cry, hunger cry, boredom,
groaning and the uncomfortable cry when baby needs bum
changing. Lots of babies have crying episodes, whether it is
because of colic pain or just having a bad
day.
Excessive crying from
a baby may sound much like the normal cry you hear, but
there might be a strange tone to it, especially if your
child is ill and has not been diagnosed with the cause of
the illness. This illness could be down to a cold, colic or
an unknown underlying health problem, if ever you are not
sure, or fear your child is not there usual self, always
consult a doctor.
If baby is crying
constantly for long periods of time and you know they are
clean, dry, warm and well fed and is not teething. Always be
on the safe side and get it checked out by a doctor. Be
aware if any rash shows up or a temperature and you know
there’s definitely something not
right.
When you know for
sure this problem is not related to any serious health
problem, or illness’s then try to rule out other things all
the crying could be for such as,
-
Soiled
nappy/diaper
-
Hungry
-
Thirsty
-
Over
tired
-
Cold or too
warm
-
Wind
-
Teething
pains
-
Tiredness
-
Constipation
-
Bored
-
Wants
attention
-
Needs
comforting
If you try all of
these and still your baby is crying a lot, then you may need
to get a second opinion from a different doctor, if you have
already seen a GP to rule out there are no underlying health
issues, and still don’t get an answer to the problem. Then
your baby could just be an attentive baby and constantly
wants to have somebody to play with, and attention seeking
from anybody who will give it. But will soon get out of this
habit given time.
The best thing to do
is try not to pick baby up at every whim. Try to set out a
period of time each day to spend time with your crying baby,
and eventually he/she will settle and realise they are not
getting all your attention when they want
it.
