One day old baby keeps crying

Children will cry when they feel uncomfortable, and crying is also a way to seek help and comfort. In addition to crying due to discomfort, many children may also cry when they are hungry, feel lonely, or are in a bad mood. One-day-old babies always cry, and they will cry even after feeding, which makes many parents feel very distressed. What is going on?

A baby will cry when he is uncomfortable. Crying is his only way to seek help. If the baby is thirsty or hungry, the mother usually knows what to do. But babies also cry if they feel lonely, unwell, or scared. Some babies cry more than others.

Understanding the type of crying your baby does can help your mother understand what the problem is. Usually, unusual crying in babies is due to the following reasons:

The baby is sick

If a baby is sick, his crying will be different from usual. A baby who did not cry much before may suddenly cry loudly - especially when he is in pain, such as when he suffers from middle ear pain, hip dislocation at birth, or colic.

Examine the baby carefully to determine, as best as possible, what the disorder is.

Treat your baby for any illness or refer him or her to a specialist.

Not enough milk

Generally, if the baby is satisfied after feeding, he will fall asleep immediately. If he wakes up again and cries for feeding in about an hour, this type of crying baby may not get enough milk. The improvement method is:

Weigh your baby to see if he's getting enough milk.

Check for all causes of insufficient breast milk, a common cause being that the mother is too busy to breastfeed her baby often enough.

Check that you are positioning your baby properly when feeding - an incorrect position may prevent your baby from getting enough milk.

Mothers can arrange breastfeeding time well, feed their babies more often, or use other methods to increase milk secretion. If you breastfeed more often, you will get more milk and your baby will be more satisfied.

There are also some reasons why babies don’t get enough milk:

Babies cry because they grow too fast in a period of time and cannot get enough milk. Some experts call this a "breastfeeding crisis". It is most common in babies aged 2 to 3 months. These babies suddenly cry and want to be fed all the time, seem to be hungrier than before, and sometimes have a flat growth curve.

These conditions may be caused by the baby growing too fast and relatively insufficient breast milk. If the mother can increase the number of breastfeeding times over a few days, the amount of breast milk will increase and be able to meet the baby's needs.

Sometimes in very hot summer, babies start crying and keep asking for milk because of thirst. Many mothers get worried and start supplementing their babies with other drinks and food.

How to overcome the "breastfeeding crisis":

It is best for the mother not to supplement her baby with other foods. If she does, her milk supply will not increase.

If she can increase the number of breastfeeding times by 3 to 8 days, she will have enough breast milk.

If the baby is thirsty, breast milk can satisfy him and there is no need to give him water.

Use other methods such as strengthening nutrition, drinking more paste soup, etc. to increase milk supply.
