New mothers often struggle with trying to find out why their baby is crying. Crying is your baby's way of telling you that something is wrong and that they want your attention. Babies communicate, hunger, sleepiness and that they want someone to hold them or burp them through crying. The first thing that will make your baby cry is hunger, babies will start moving their tongues around and smacking their lips, create sucking noises with their mouth, babies may also be seen sucking fingers or a blanket to communicate a need to be fed.
This is when the baby starts to open his or her mouth as if trying to latch onto something when a hand or finger is rubbed against its cheeks. When babies start flaying their arms and legs this is also another sign that they are hungry. Last but not least, your baby will cry from having a need to be changed, so check that diaper.
Babies may also cry because they crave affection they like to be near their parents and want to be cuddled and held. If you had been reading to your child from they were in the womb you might find that one of the books you use to read will quickly calm your baby down as they recognizes it afterbirth.
Sometimes they just want to be picked up and held by someone they love and who loves them, this will soothe them and take away the crankiness. If mom and dad have been reading to the child before birth, they might find that the baby is very responsive to the story and becomes extremely calm when it is read to them.
To stop or slow down colic all together it is always best to breastfeed your baby as this reduces the chances of getting colic. Take your child to a doctor before you use anything from over the counter to curb colic. Your baby may also cry simply because too much air has been taken in while breastfeeding or bottle feeding, in this case all you have to do is gently rub your baby's back until they burp and the problem will be solved.
