What are the reasons why two-month-old babies cry at night?

Babies are a relatively weak group. They cannot speak or express themselves. They use their crying to vent their emotions or express some abnormalities in their bodies. If babies cry often at night, it may not be psychological but may be pathological. What are the reasons why two-month-old babies cry at night?

Hungry

Being well fed and well clothed are the most basic physiological needs of human beings, and babies are no exception. Especially if it has been more than 2 or 3 hours since the last feeding, your baby will gradually feel hungry and will find ways to let you know. If you listen carefully, you will find that his crying is stronger and more rhythmic at this time.

uncomfortable

There are many kinds of discomfort, such as wet diapers, being too hot or too cold, and sometimes sweating and clothes being too tight. At this time, his crying will be more rapid but soft, and it seems that he can still bear it a little. However, if you ignore him, the baby will cry loudly to protest against you.

pain

Babies are most afraid of feeling unwell. Sometimes they have difficulty breathing, colds, fever, or gastrointestinal discomfort, which can make them feel pain, itchiness, and nausea. However, they have no ability to resist or treat themselves. Babies will cry for a long time and in a strange way, especially after eating or before going to bed, crying for dozens of minutes, sometimes with difficulty breathing, and even feeling unable to cry. At this time, you should take him to the hospital for examination immediately.

Fear of the dark

Many studies have pointed out that when people are in darkness and alone, their brains will send messages that make them feel fearful and worried, and they instinctively want to find support, especially newborn babies. The baby will cry to test whether his parents are around and whether there is someone to take care of him. At this time, your response is very important. Even just humming, singing a song, or making some sounds can soothe your baby.
