How to calm a crying baby?

When they're between two and five months of age, a healthy baby can cry up to two hours a day - it's the only way they can express themselves! There are many causes for crying.

  • Babies only cry when they have needs, and hunger is still one of the main causes of crying in newborns.
  • If the crying occurs after a bottle and the baby clenches his fists, arches his back, and pulls his knees up to his stomach, this is colic.
  • It is then advisable to relieve the baby with massages and suitable products, by reassuring her.
  • Trying to sleep can be one of the causes: make sure that the room temperature is between 18 and 20 degrees and that the baby falls asleep in a calm environment.
  • Like us, a baby needs to feel good! A clean diaper and a change of position often put an end to crying.
  • Finally, many studies prove that there is a correlation between newborn crying and mom's stress.

Have you tried skin to skin? Babies are new to this world and are used to being warm and snug in mama's womb, they miss it so cuddle up with your beautiful bundle of joy and see if that helps❤️

Babies don't usually cry for no reason. There's a reason. I just have to try everything. May be gassy or may be cold. U just have to try everything. It'll be ok. Hang in there

It looks like a breast milk which forms in newborns breast. I googled it and it says milk stays only for 2 weeks. And it goes away. Doctors didn’t say anything to me so I didn’t pay attention. But my friend just had a baby 1 week old . She said doctors told her to take the milk out like you do for your breast . Doing this is important

So I have a one month old baby girl. She has been a bit fussy and I feel like I’m mistaking a lot of her cries as hunger cries. Every time she cries almost, when someone picks her up, she acts like she is searching for the boob, even if I just fed her. How did you all get each cry down? Like their full diaper cry, their hungry cry, their I just want attention cry, how did you all tell the difference between each cry? Cause like I said I feel like I am mistaking all her cry’s for hungry cries and I think that is the reason she has been having so many stomach aches. Because she will eat for almost 45 minutes, then I will set her in her swing to sleep and about 15 minutes later she will start crying again, and act like she is searching for a boob, so I will feed her again and it will take as long as another 30-45 minutes. So I feel like I am giving her these stomach aches but I have not been able to tell the difference between her cries yet. I feel like I should know the difference by now but I just don’t. Also, how long did it take you all to differ the cries?

Either that or she isn’t eating correctly and not getting enough in her stomach when she is latched.

I agree but also try gas drops. My son and niece was the same way with me and my sis n law. Sometimes they use the boob for comfort. But I got my son out of it because of the stomach aches and I had a very fast “let down” which caused him to very bad reflux. If you want to try to encourage of things for comfort instead of the boob if you’re sure she isn’t hungry try pacifier, a teething ring, grip water( works great), and sometimes just try holding her without offering it. She’ll protest but soon she’ll learn that she can’t use it for comfort. That’s what I did with my son and he adapted great. Took like a few days

My 4 month old has been spitting up A LOT. Like 4-8 x a day. She acts happy but sometimes in the evening she gets colicky and cries a lot. She is also super gassy. I started her on cereal but only feed her 1tbsp once in a day (not everyday.) with my breast milk (I do not microwave it.) I’m worried she is getting sick. Is this normal?

Can be a lot of different things. I notice when my son spits up it’s because he eats too fast or he’s over eating. I just started using a little bit of chamomile tea mixed with his formula for gas and more sleep. I also give him gripe water. Seemed like it helped.
