Why is the full-month baby crying?

Babies' ability to express themselves is relatively weak, because they cannot do certain movements and cannot speak, so their only way of expression is crying. Before they are one month old, they will cry quite hard, but they will also cry when they are one month old. So why do babies cry when they are one month old, and what's going on?

Babies' crying is the only way to express their emotions and their only language. Mothers should learn to understand their baby's cries and provide timely comfort to enhance the baby's sense of trust and security.

1. Healthy crying: loud, rhythmic, not harsh, and without tears

For newborn babies, crying is sometimes a healthy signal that helps to increase lung capacity. Mothers must learn to understand this cry. Usually healthy crying is not harsh, has rhythm, is loud, and does not cause tears. In this case, as long as the mother gives timely comfort, such as hugging and patting, the baby will slowly stop crying. But only babies in the confinement period will have this kind of healthy crying. As the baby grows older, he will no longer use this method to tell his mother "I am healthy".

2. Crying when feeling uncomfortable: hungry, sleepy, wet, or sick

Apart from healthy crying, most of the time, babies cry for specific reasons, such as being hungry, sleepy, or having urinated, etc. If the crying is short and powerful, with pauses in between, and gradually becomes rapid, it is very likely that the baby is hungry; if the baby keeps staring at his legs while crying, it is possible that he has urinated or defecated; if the crying is accompanied by intermittent impatient howls, it may be a sign of sleepiness; if the baby cries sharply and refuses to eat, it is very likely that the baby is sick and needs to see a doctor immediately.

3. Let the baby listen to the mother's heartbeat and meet the baby's needs in time

In response to the baby's different cries, the mother should respond promptly: feeding, changing diapers, etc. If the baby keeps crying and the mother cannot determine the reason for a while, she can first pick up the baby, let him lean on her left chest and listen to his own heartbeat. This is a very good way to comfort babies under one month old, which can make the baby recall the environment in the womb.

Regarding the crying of one-month-old babies, we have made an explanation. There are many types of baby crying, including comfortable crying and uncomfortable crying. Don’t think that the baby’s crying is pathological. Many babies lack a sense of security and will suddenly cry in the middle of the night. This is because the baby is frightened. Therefore, we must make a detailed judgment on the baby’s crying before taking certain measures.
