Many parents, especially mothers, ask why the newborn is constantly crying. Almost all children during the first three months of life shout a lot, they can do this up to four to five hours a day. Gradually, the mother will learn to determine the cause of this behavior of her baby in order to immediately calm him down. However, you need to know what can cause the crying of the baby in order to better understand the child and quickly help him.
There are several reasons
why newborns cry :
1. In the first days after the birth of the baby may be disturbed by the "memories" of his birth. The birth process is a huge stress for both the mother and the baby, so it takes some time for the baby to forget this moment.
2. A common reason why a newborn often cries is hunger. Modern pediatricians are advised to feed the baby on demand. Cried - give a breast or a bottle.
3. The baby is hurt. As you know, children during the first months of life suffer from intestinal colic. To alleviate the suffering of the baby, keep it “column” after each feeding, and put it on your tummy to sleep.
4. The child is hot or cold. The best temperature in the room where the baby lives is considered to be + 20-22 degrees. A baby who is overheated, blushes, he may have prickly heat. In this case, it is best to completely undress and wash it. If the baby is cold, swaddle him and hold him close - the baby will immediately warm at the chest. If only the arms and legs are freezing, vests with closed sleeves and socks will help.
5. The next reason newborns cry is fatigue. Despite the fact that the child is still small, he is able to tire. The kid gets tired of sucking, moving his own legs and arms, massage, from what he saw during the day. An overworked child often cannot fall asleep himself and “asks” to be helped. In this case, you need to swaddle the baby, shake it. Subdued light and calm melodic music also contribute to the fast falling asleep of the child.
6. Some babies cry just before wetting their diapers. In this case, the baby first whimpers softly, then can scream sharply. When you learn to recognize such a cry, start planting your baby, thereby saving on diapers and clean diapers. The reason why newborns cry during urination may be a lack of fluid in his body and, consequently, a high concentration of urine, which causes a burning urinary tract. Give your child more water during the day and the problem may disappear.
7. The baby is uncomfortable to lie. The child during the first days of life does not know how to change the position of the body, so he may be tired of being, for example, on his left side. To help the baby in this situation is easy. You need to shift it to another barrel, back or tummy, and the baby will calm down. If a child has lost a diaper, a tight elastic band on her pants, a wet diaper rubs him, he may worry and cry. It is enough to change his clothes to console him.
8. Why do newborns cry when there are no obvious reasons for this? It turns out that the baby may just want to be closer to her mother, because he still can not imagine himself without her. More often take the baby in your arms, not being afraid to spoil it: children who lack parental love feel much worse than those who were constantly pressed and kissed from the first days!
