My Baby Won’t Stop Crying!

It’s inevitable - babies cry.  Just as inevitable, they’ll decide to do so for hours on end, when you’re trying to get some sleep.Unfortunately, babies can’t express themselves in words, so all normal babies cry as a form of communication.  Some of them will cry as soon as they’re uncomfortable; for example, they’ll cry when to they’re hungry, they’re wet, they’re too hot or cold, or they are in pain. Some babies will cry out of habit for attention.  For the most part, baby crying is normal, but sometimes it can alarm family members or be indicative of serious conditions that should be handled straight away.
