So is the baby hungry? Tired? Or are you unwell?
Next, let's study the baby's crying in different categories, so that you can quickly get the message sent by the baby.
12 causes of crying in newborns

Pathological crying is the most worrying thing for adults.

Second, physiological needs lead to crying
Physiological crying is the most common form of crying, but as long as the baby's needs are met, it can be alleviated.
1. The baby cries loudly and the tone is urgent.
Touching the corner of the baby's mouth with his finger, he will immediately stop crying and turn his head to look for his fingers and have a sucking action, which means that the baby is hungry and should feed the baby in time.
2. The baby cries loudly, but the tone is soft and rhythmic, and the face is rosy, the breathing is normal, and the duration of crying is short.
This is generally a form of exercise that belongs to the baby and helps the baby's lungs to relax and exercise.
3, the baby just began to cry quietly, crying and stopping, in the absence of timely attention and comfort of adults, the crying became louder and louder and gradually became continuous crying.
This is generally physical discomfort, such as urine, pulling, clothes do not fit, the temperature is not suitable for hot and cold, bumps or mosquito bites.
4, the baby's crying is not too loud, the heart is uneasy, it feels very tired but it is difficult to coax sleep, this is generally a sleep environment is not very good.
You can check whether the indoor temperature is suitable, whether the surrounding sound is noisy, etc.
These are the normal physiological needs of the baby, as long as the corresponding reason is found and the baby's needs are met in time, the baby can stop crying.
Third, psychological needs lead to crying
1, the newborn baby has just come to a new environment, lack of security, will often cry.
This situation mostly occurs in the first few days of returning home from the hospital, parents should pay more attention to the baby, and when the baby adapts to the new environment, he will not cry again.
2, changes in the surrounding environment or adults in a bad mood will make the baby feel uneasy, which may lead to the baby crying. After the baby is born, he will gradually become familiar with the living environment and establish an emotional relationship with the person who takes care of him.
If the living environment changes frequently or changes greatly, it is very easy to cause the baby to be more insecure.
In particular, frequent changes in the care of the baby will lead to the baby's lack of trust in the external environment and people.
Both of these situations can easily make your baby cry out of anxiety.
In addition, the mother's emotions will also greatly affect the baby's emotions.
When the mother has anxiety, nervousness, anger, frustration, sadness or pain, it will also infect the baby and make the baby cry because of uneasiness.
Therefore, take care of the newborn baby, as far as possible do not easily change his living environment, but let him gradually increase the sense of security in a familiar environment.
At the same time, do not bring your own bad emotions to your baby.
In short, if you encounter a child who suddenly cries and makes trouble, even a whole night, and how to coax and not listen, it is best to take the baby to seek medical treatment in time, do not take it lightly.
