    Here are three common reasons babies cry according to the document: 1) Babies often cry because they are hungry - their small stomachs can't hold much so they may need to eat more frequently than it seems. 2) Babies may cry when they are tired but having trouble falling asleep, staring blankly or whining at small things. 3) In the late afternoon and evenings, babies under 5 months old may cry due to normal patterns of fussiness called colic. Cuddling, white noise, or driving in the car can sometimes soothe a colicky baby.

    10 reasons babies cry

    Here are 10 of the most common reasons why babies cry, and how you can soothe
    them. Call your doctor if your baby has difficulty breathing through the crying, or if she
    also has fever, vomiting or diarrhoea.
     

    I'm hungry

    Hunger is one of the most common reasons that your newborn baby will cry.

    Your baby's small stomach can't hold very much so if she cries try offering her some milk.
    She may be hungry even if her last feed doesn't seem very long ago.

    I'm tired

    Your baby may find it hard to get to sleep particularly if she is over-tired. Your baby's
    sleep cues will tend to be whining and crying at the slightest thing, staring blankly into
    space, and going quiet. Help her by teaching her to soothe herself to sleep.

    I just feel like crying!

    If your baby is less than five months old she may cry in the late afternoon and evenings.
    This is normal but it can be very stressful for you. Persistent crying in an otherwise
    healthy baby is traditionally called colic.

    Cuddling your baby, going for a drive or creating white noise say from a ceiling fan
    or AC for example may soothe your crying baby.

    I need a nappy change


    Your baby may protest if a wet or soiled nappy is bothering her. If her tender skin is
    being irritated she will probably tell you by crying. Always use barrier cream at nappy
    changes and if possible give your baby nappy-free time.

    I need to burp

    If your baby cries during or straight after a feed, she may have gas. Gas is simply the
    air in your baby's tummy which she's swallowed as she feeds or even when she cries.

    Patting or rubbing your baby's back are good ways to burp her. Check out our video
    on how to burp your baby.

    I'm too hot

    Take care not to overdress your baby, or she may become too hot. She will generally
    need to wear one more layer of clothing than you to be comfortable.

    I'm too cold

    Your newborn may hate having her nappy changed or being bathed. She may not be
    used to the feeling of cold air on her skin. But you will soon learn how to perfect a quick
    nappy change if this is the case.

    I don't feel well

    Be aware of changes in your baby. If she's unwell she'll probably cry in a different tone to


    her usual cry. It may be weaker more urgent continuous or high-pitched.

    Nobody knows your baby as well as you do. If you feel that there may be something
    wrong with her call your doctor.

    There's too much going on!


    If your baby has received a lot of attention and cuddles from doting visitors and family
    members she may become over-stimulated. Take your baby somewhere calm and quiet
    to help her settle down or sleep.

    I need a cuddle

    Your baby will need lots of cuddling and reassurance to comfort her.

    Try a baby sling to keep her close to you perhaps swaying and singing to her while you
    hold her.
