Question
The 2-month-old baby cries non-stop after an afternoon nap, without drinking milk or water. When the baby’s mouth gets dry, it drinks water, and then cries again after another nap. The crying is particularly intense, and no soothing seems to work. It’s unusual for the baby to cry this much, especially today in the afternoon. Now, the baby is also running a nose. Previous treatment and effectiveness: none. Advice needed: How can I prevent the baby from crying?
Answer
- The baby is hungry. 2. The baby has soiled its diaper and it hasn’t been changed in time. 3. Pain in a specific body part (e.g., redness on the buttocks, armpits, or neck due to moisture; stomachache or discomfort; pain from a fracture or fracture in the legs or arms that makes the baby afraid to move). 4. The baby is whining and wants you to massage its back, hold it, or rock it. By observing and correcting these situations that make the baby uncomfortable, you can reduce the baby’s crying. However, it’s not good to make the baby never cry because moderate crying can effectively reduce the baby’s lung capacity and promote its lung growth and development.
