KD Concepts's video: Why is my baby crying for no reason Causes of Unexplained Crying New Born Baby Crying Reasons

Causes of Unexplained Crying Hungry Baby The most common reason babies cry is because they are hungry. They stop crying at the onset of feeding. By the end of the feeding, they are happy. Sleepy Baby The second reason babies cry is they need sleep. They need their parent to put them in a comfortable position. It may be swaddled and on their back. Then they fuss a little and fall asleep. Fed Too Much Some babies cry because of a bloated stomach from overfeeding. Unlike gas, too much milk can cause discomfort that lasts a short time. Caffeine Caffeine is a stimulant that can cause increased crying and trouble falling asleep. Breastfeeding mothers need to limit their caffeine intake. Clothing Being too hot or too cold can make a baby cry. So can clothing that is too tight. Dirty Diaper Stool is very irritating to the skin. If not cleaned off, it can cause pain and burning. Colic Colic is the main cause of recurrent crying during the early months. All babies have some normal fussy crying every day. When this occurs over 3 hours per day, it's called colic. When they are not crying, they are happy. Pain (Serious) Painful causes include an earache, mouth ulcers, or a raw diaper rash. An ulcer on tip of penis may also cause pain and crying. These babies cry a lot and are not happy when they are not crying. They need to see a doctor to make a diagnosis. Fever in this age group is serious until proven otherwise. Shaken baby syndrome is a concern.
