Crying is the most important way for babies to express their needs.
But what is our first reaction when we hear crying?
The baby is crying because he is hungry, and the mother is breastfeeding.
The baby is crying because he is not full, and the mother feeds quickly.
Yes, for most caregivers, they think their baby is hungry when they hear them cry.
But in reality, crying is only because the baby can't speak and can't express, so she/he can usually only express his "discomfort" by crying.
If you think that crying means not having enough to eat, there may be a situation where breast milk is not enough to satisfy the baby's thoughts, which may lead to premature weaning (a mistake in judgment that is not good for the baby's health).

Your baby's crying may be because the diaper is dirty, too hot or too cold, needs to be burped, or there are too many new stimuli in the environment (making the baby feel insecure), sick or hungry.
See the reason sort above?
Hunger, not having enough to eat, is not the number one reason for crying.
Therefore, when the baby is crying, we need to eliminate the reasons for the crying one by one:
1. Diaper change/diaper is required.
After wetting or pulling poop, your baby will feel very uncomfortable.
If the baby is crying, take care of the need to touch the diaper/diaper, if it is wet, change it in time to keep the butt dry.

2. It may be too hot or too cold.
Judging whether the baby is too hot or too cold is definitely not to touch the baby's hands and feet, but to touch the position between the neck and the back.
If it's cold, then you need to add clothes to your baby; If it's hotter, it's wearing too much.
Your baby is not so afraid of the cold, don't dress him/her too much. Problems that come out are more common than problems that come out of freezing.
3. Burp may be required to vent the gas.
Just hold the baby on your chest or let the baby sit on your lap, gently burp, and after burping, the baby will feel much more comfortable.
4. May need to be appeased.
When the baby's environment makes him/her insecure, uncomfortable, and uncomfortable, the baby will cry. At this time, the mother only needs to pick up the baby, stick it to the mother's chest, and shake it slowly to calm the baby.
Crying babies sometimes just need to be quiet, or get out of the stimulus, or just want to be with mom and dad. When parents are quick to respond to their baby's cues, crying can be reduced.
5. Really hungry.
When all of the above situations are eliminated one by one, we will feed them ourselves.

In the actual situation, we will also encounter that after doing the above 5 actions, the baby is still crying and crying.
There is a constant crying, no matter how much you hug or coax it.
What to do?
1. To rule out physical reasons, you need to see a doctor to determine whether the baby keeps crying because of the disease.
2. Holding the baby and rocking, singing, and patting to soothe can reduce the degree of stimulation of the baby and calm the baby.
We found that the existing baby is indeed more sensitive, and her own temperament causes her/him to cry more. This is a test for caregivers, and everyone needs to adapt and persevere.
