The baby's unexplained crying often overwhelms the new parents, which is uncomfortable for the baby and the parents. Parents with careful observation may find that the baby's unexplained crying often occurs after noon, especially around 8 pm, and how to coax is not ok, breastfeeding is not good, sleeping is not done, often have to make a fuss for an hour or two, until farting or pooping can be relieved; at this time, you can consider whether it is caused by physiological flatulence and intestinal colic. So is there a good way to alleviate it?
What is the reason for the baby's crying?
First, there is emotional need. Babies sometimes miss the warm feeling in their mother's belly, so they get their mother's hugs and care by crying.
Second, too cold or too hot. The baby's ability to regulate body temperature is not strong enough, and the ambient temperature is too hot or too cold to make the baby feel anxious or uncomfortable.
Third, I want to sleep. Some babies appear irritable before going to bed, and if their eyelids appear heavy or they keep rubbing their eyes, it means they want to sleep.
How can I tell if my baby is crying?
First, the baby will have separation anxiety from the age of 1, 1-3 years old to reach the peak, with age, the baby can be aware of the existence of self, in the "mother-infant symbiosis" stage, lack of security. For example, when your baby first goes to kindergarten, he tries everything he can to escape, in large part because he doesn't want to leave his mother or a familiar caregiver.
Second, hungry, thirsty these needs. Each baby sends out a different signal, such as the most common hunger, some babies are low crying, rhythmic, some babies are high-pitched, continuous these signals need to be grasped and understood by mothers themselves. For example, when my baby is hungry, his crying is very high-pitched, and the corners of his mouth are pressed down, revealing a special aggrieved small expression, and the baby's boredom needs. In particular, do not think that the baby does not know boredom, from the baby 6 weeks will be bored, some babies need adult babies to solve boredom, some babies need adults to play with to solve boredom.
Third, there are many types of pathological crying, intestinal colic, headache, otitis media, painful bowel movements, inflammation of the urethral orifice, mouth ulcers, gum swelling, etc., all need to seek medical treatment in time. Pathological crying is sometimes easy to misunderstand, when the baby is not very serious when breastfeeding will superficially alleviate pathological crying, if the number of times the baby cries is significantly more than usual, the amount or frequency of feeding is reduced, often irritable, then it is necessary to consider whether there is a sick situation.
How to care for a crying baby?
First, take off the baby's clothes, thoroughly check whether there is a place where the hand is tied, or the thread is wrapped around the baby's toes.
Second, let the baby lie on his knees and gently rub his back while slowly lifting and lowering your heels. Or have the baby lie on the bed and gently pat him on the back.
Let your baby lie on your forearm, belly down, and use your hands to support his chest.
