Not Feeling Well
When your baby is sick, their cries sound tired, weak, and nasally. Since they don’t feel well, their cries are usually low energy, and low pitch.
With this cry, check your baby’s temperature. Other signs that there may be something awry are diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, or a rash.
If you suspect that your baby is fighting something, call your pediatrician to see if you should get your little one checked out.
Your baby is bound to get sick at one point or another, and most of the time it is no cause for concern.
Do what you can to console the poor patient, giving more TLC than normal, and soon it should pass.
Parents reported:
“Crying is a type of normal behavior in infants,” states Marc Weissbluth, MD, a renowned pediatrician in Chicago and author of Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child.”
Just because the cosmos loves to mess with us sometimes, babies will at times cry for no reason at all. They could need to release some energy for nap time, or have nothing better to do.
As time progresses, you will understand your baby’s communication style more and more, making crying sessions much less stressful.
Keeping a routine can help you decipher your little ones cries more quickly. If it’s 10 am, and nap time is usually 9:45, then your baby is crying to let you know the schedule is off.
You may not always be able to stop a baby from crying right away. If it persists longer than your patience, then put the baby in the crib for ten minutes to give yourself a break, and then come back in to start through the list of remedies again.
Babies are beautifully designed with ways of talking to mommy and daddy, letting you know how best to care for them.
