Understanding the baby crying after feeding

Although babies cannot use words to express their thoughts or emotions, they can express them in other ways. In daily life, the most common way for babies to express themselves is crying, and every time it can successfully attract the attention of their parents. So why do babies cry after feeding? Let’s learn more about it together.

1. Besides representing tears, sounds, emotions, etc., does a baby’s crying have any other meanings? If there was a baby cry converter, would you need it? If we accurately record and count every cry of newborns, they will cry about 3 hours a day. Are you surprised? Have you ever thought that your baby would cry for so long? They certainly don't use up all their crying time at once, and each cry is not telling the same thing. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. After all, this language is too difficult and you need to spend some time learning it.

1. “I’m hungry, let’s eat!”

2. "I'm so tired, let me sleep!"

3. "I just want you to hold me!"

4. “It’s so uncomfortable, please change my diaper!”

5. “It’s too cold (hot), I feel uncomfortable!”

6. “It’s too messy here. I can’t stand it!”

7. “Come and play with me for a while!”

8. "Something hurts me!"

9. “I feel so sick!”

2. What else can you do when facing a crying baby?

1. Wrap him up and hold him: Newborns like the feeling of warmth and security, just like in their mother's womb, so you can wrap him up in a small blanket and hold him in your arms. There are also a few babies who don't like being swaddled, but prefer rhythmic movements or their mother's nipple.

2. Let him listen to rhythmic sounds: Newborns are familiar and accustomed to the sound of heartbeats, which is why they like to be held. You can play some light music for him, or the prenatal education music he is familiar with, or you can hum a lullaby softly.

3. Keep him physically active: Moving your baby around the room can also help him calm down. Either rock him gently in a cradle, or take him for a drive, you can find a way that suits you both.

4. Rub his tummy: Gently massaging the baby's back or abdomen is the most common way for many mothers to soothe their baby. It is especially effective for babies who have abdominal pain due to hernia.

After understanding these reasons for crying, do mothers feel benefited? I believe you have a lot of feelings too. Parents, when you encounter a situation where your baby cries after feeding, don't worry blindly or guess on your own. Instead, observe carefully and try to find out what the baby is trying to do. As a parent, the most important thing is patience.
