Crying of babies in the early weeks…
What does it mean? When it is the first baby , parents often feel helpless about handling the situation and the baby. Parents need understand that crying of babies and older children have different meanings.
A baby cries not always in pain or sadness but for other reasons, say, when the baby is hungry or wet. It is important to understand that it the baby’s only form of communication with the outside world and has many meanings. There could be a myriad reasons for the baby crying – she may be wet, she may be hungry, she may be uncomfortable or sick, she may have indigestion or she may just be tired. A baby may have a regular period in the evening or the afternoon when she cries and it is called colic or irritable crying.
As she grows older, her crying decreases. Moreover it is not as big a worry for the parents who by know what to expect from her at different times of the day and are also able to distinguish between different cries.
This is a passing phase and by the close of three months the crying fizzles away.
