Babies cry. Why?

Small babies cry a lot. This is how they communicate. They are small and so cannot speak, so this is the only way to express their feelings! Generally they say that mothers can understand why their baby is crying. I have experiences a lot of it. Why babies cry and fuss:

1. Check the diaper. Some babies cry when they poop. Some cry after passing urine. If the diaper is wet or soiled change the diaper and make the baby comfortable.

2. If a baby is hungry then he will cry, feed him and make him satisfied so that he stops crying.

3. Even after feeding if he continues to cry then it is burp time. Hold him on your shoulder and pat softly on his back,. He will burp and then be happy.

4. Some babies cry if they want to sleep and cannot sleep on their own. Pat the baby slowly and sing a lullaby. He will hear his mama and papa's voice and he will sleep.

5. Sometimes if his stomach is paining due to gas, rub the stomach softly. Give some gripe water.

One day my son was crying a lot and I checked all the above points but still he was very upset. And if baby is upset the whole family mama, papa all are uncomfortable. Finally after a lot of thinking and checking I remembered that I had put a new dress on him and forgot to remove the tag. That tag was irritating him a lot and was the reason for his being fussy. As soon as I took the tag out he calmed down and was fine again. so it is all experience that makes a mother a perfect mother. Spending time with your baby is the most precious time ever. Once they grow big all this fussiness, innocence, their laughter's, chuckles get over and we miss these days.
                 Enjoy the moments of joy with him. It is a 24x7 job without pay but it has some special moments that will stay in your memory for life. It is very satisfactoy to see your baby grow up to a crawler and then a toddler.
