crying
Crying is a physiological process in a baby's life. All
normal babies cry to communicate with others. Since they cannot express their
feelings in words, crying is the only way to communicate. If unpleasant
feelings appear, they simply cry. Usually, babies cry in situations like
hunger, humidity, heat or cold, tight clothes, pain, etc. Some children need
someone to be with them, otherwise they will cry. Crying for no reason is a
common phenomenon in some babies. Although crying is considered normal, it can
make family members anxious. Since the causes of crying can range from simple
to serious causes, it should not be ignored and therefore it is necessary to
identify and treat the exact cause. Here are some things to consider when
caring for a crying baby.
