Why does the newborn keep crying?

Every time a baby comes into this world, parents will be filled with curiosity and joy. However, we all know that babies will cry at the moment of birth, but many parents often encounter the phenomenon that newborn babies keep crying. This will make parents particularly worried. They don’t know whether the baby has some disease or is uncomfortable somewhere. Often, inexperienced parents don’t know what to do and are always particularly scared. Let’s understand why newborns keep crying.

Why does the newborn keep crying?

1. Several situations such as hunger and thirst should be considered. Asking for milk is the most common reason for babies crying. In addition to crying, they can also be seen looking for milk and sucking. Touch his mouth with your finger and the crying will stop immediately. After feeding for a while, the baby will fall asleep contentedly. After feeding the baby, you must make sure that the baby is really full. Many mothers think that their babies are full, but the babies become hungry again about an hour after eating, which means that they are not full. If the baby is full normally, it can be guaranteed to wait about 3 hours before the next feeding.

2. Newborn babies will cry to express their protest if they feel the slightest discomfort. The temperature of the room temperature, the thickness of the wrapping, the brightness of the light, the noisy environment, the child's sleepiness and desire to sleep, or even just wanting you to hug him are all reasons for him to cry.

3. Some parents like to tie their children up tightly, with their hands and feet tied straight so that they cannot move. After a long time, the children will feel uncomfortable and cry. Do not wrap the child tightly, but let him move his limbs, as exercise can promote brain activity. In addition to eating and sleeping, newborns also need certain activities to dissipate energy. Children who are tied up all day will also cry because they cannot exercise. Giving your child daily massage can just make up for this deficiency.

4. When a newborn baby keeps crying, you should immediately open the blanket, undress him/her, take off his/her gloves and socks, and check whether he/she is wet with urine, has bloating, constipation, diaper rash, etc., and whether the seams of his/her clothes have caught his/her hands and feet. If the diaper is soaked with urine or feces, it should be changed in time.

5. The mother’s anxiety will be passed on to the newborn. Such children are nervous, crybaby, and neurotic, so it is very important for mothers to maintain a good attitude. When your child is crying, you can take him for a walk outdoors, breathe some fresh air, and bask in the sun. The child will soon calm down. If you can go for a drive, it can often work wonders to soothe a crying child.

The above is an introduction to why newborns keep crying. After understanding it, we know that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. So don’t be too nervous when such symptoms occur. Be sure to consult a doctor in time. In addition, in order to give birth to a healthy baby, women must pay special attention during pregnancy. First of all, maintain a happy mood, and also pay attention to nutritional balance in diet.
