Your child could be crying because of a number of reasons, the most common of them is hunger. The other reason is indigestion or colic pain. Gripe water is often a good solution for mild colic pain. Usually babies swallow some air while feeding which makes them uncomfortable and therefore they cry. So after every feed it is good to carry the baby upright and pat on his back gently till it burps. Below are a few more of the common causes of crying and how to deal with them:
• Lack of comfort – a soiled nappy, tight or irritable clothing can cause crying in some babies. Ensure that your baby’s nappy is always clean and discover what clothing is most comfortable for her.
• Sudden temperature changes – some babies may cry when exposed to temperature changes, for example while bathing or having their nappies changed.
• Lack of attention – some babies will cry when they feel the need for reassurance. There is a need here to find the right balance (for example if you cuddle your baby when she cries at the dead of night she may come to expect this night after nights).
Now that you know a few of the things that can cause your baby to cry let us go on and see how we can give her (and you) a beautiful nights sleep.
