What are the specific reasons why newborns cry non-stop?

For newborns, it is easy to cry incessantly. Crying can be mainly divided into physiological crying and pathological crying. Physiological crying will not affect the child's health, such as when the child is thirsty, hungry, or inappropriately dressed, etc. If the crying is pathological, it should be taken seriously, such as oral ulcers, colds, fever, nasal congestion, otitis media, brain disease, etc.

1. Physiological baby crying

The characteristics of physiological infant crying are that when there is no disease, the crying often gradually changes from light to loud, and the crying stops after the factors are removed. Most of the time, it is caused by physiological reasons.

1. Hunger and thirst

It is more common in infants under 3 months old due to hunger, such as insufficient breast milk, too dilute milk powder or too long interval between two feedings. The weather is hot in summer. Sweating a lot, if not replenishing water in time, may cry due to thirst.

2. Wet, itchy, cold, hot

Failure to change wet diapers is a common cause of crying. Too much cold or too much heat can make babies uncomfortable. Eczema on the face or body is more likely to itch and cause crying in a hot environment. The area is extremely itchy after being bitten by an insect.

3. Inappropriate clothing

Newborns are bandaged too tightly or their clothes are too large to restrict their movements or affect their breathing; thin underwear and coarse sweaters on the outside may cause discomfort due to irritation of the skin by the wool.

4. Before urination and defecation

Trained babies often cry to indicate they want to defecate or urinate. For example, some babies may suddenly cry in their sleep in the middle of the night because their bladder is full, indicating that they need to urinate.

5. No one around

When a baby wakes up and finds that there is no one around, he feels lonely and cries to attract his relatives to keep him company.

2. Pathological infant crying

Pathological infant crying is characterized by intense, prolonged crying, high-pitched or particularly low crying, and crying often occurs at the same time as certain symptoms or signs.

The more common diseases are:

1. Oral ulcers

Most babies cry and fuss when feeding or eating, especially when eating hot food, often accompanied by drooling.

2. Nasal congestion

Babies with nasal congestion cry because of hunger, and stop immediately after feeding. However, the nasal congestion affects their breathing, so they have to stop sucking and breathe through their mouths. They cry again because they cannot get milk, forming a situation of crying and eating, eating and crying.

3. Brain diseases

When a newborn suffers from intracranial hemorrhage or meningitis, he or she may cry in waves, which are high-pitched, rapid and without echo. Older infants may cry because of a headache when they have meningitis or other causes of intracranial hypertension. At the same time, hit your head with your hands or bang your head against a wall or wooden door.

4. Otitis media

External auditory canal sore and swelling. The baby cries when the ear is pressed against the mother's body during feeding or when the baby's ears are pulled.

5. Skin ulcers

Crying occurs when the skin in the armpits, neck, or groin is rubbed.
