Nature must have designed baby cries to bring maximum stress and worry to parents. When a baby cries, people expect mothers to instinctively know the reason but it isn’t always that straight forward. Many parents need time to get to know and understand baby’s needs before being able to pinpoint quickly what is troubling them. There are six key reasons why a baby cries and I have created a check list, illustrated below, which can be worked through to establish why baby is crying. Is baby hungry? When was his last feed? Is baby tired? When did he last sleep? Is he kicking his legs / writhing? Is there silence followed by a high scream? Is he making straining noises? – He may have wind, colic or constipation. Nappy may need changing. Is baby bored? Try a change of scenery or play with him. Check baby’s temperature, make sure he’s not too hot or too cold. A baby needs one more layer of clothing / bedding than an adult.
