The child was crying on the floor and the woman was covered in blood. What happened?

There are many reasons why babies cry. Let’s take a closer look at why babies cry and some simple solutions.

Hunger is the main reason why babies cry. This kind of cry is short and powerful, relatively regular, with intervals for ventilation, and gradually becomes more rapid. Generally speaking, mothers are more sensitive to this kind of crying, especially breastfeeding mothers, whose breasts are almost full of milk. When the baby feels hungry, he should be fed in time to eliminate his hunger and stop the baby from crying.

Discomfort is a common reason why babies cry. The baby obviously felt uncomfortable because his diaper was wet. "Oh, it's so uncomfortable. Please change it!" the baby cried. The baby's skin is very sensitive, and if the diaper is wet, he will feel uncomfortable and cry loudly. At this time, parents should change his diaper in time to make the baby feel comfortable and stop crying.

Too cold or too hot will also make the baby feel uncomfortable, and he will cry to express it. At this time, parents should touch the baby's abdomen with their hands. If the abdomen feels cold, it means that the baby feels cold, and they need to put on more clothes quickly; if the baby's face is red and irritable, it means that the baby is too hot, and corresponding measures should be taken. measures, such as bathing the baby with warm water.

Babies crying in pain are mostly caused by indigestion, bloating and other reasons. During the feeding process, babies often swallow a lot of air, which is one of the causes of bloating. This kind of crying often comes suddenly, with the first long and loud cry, followed by a longer breath holding, and then another loud cry. At this time, parents should find ways to make the baby burp so that he will feel better. Hiccups are a common phenomenon, and you can use the following two methods to help him: first, you can put the baby on your shoulders and pat his back; second, you can put the baby entirely on your lap, Hold his head and pat his back. The baby will stop crying when he feels comfortable.

The baby cries because of bad mood. Babies sometimes feel lonely and express themselves through crying. This kind of crying usually starts silently, and is often preceded by several slow and prolonged cries, with a low sound coming from the throat. This is just to attract the attention of the parents and ask them to pick him up. Parents should often play and communicate with their babies, sing and tell them stories, and play with them with soft toys to eliminate crying caused by loneliness.

The baby grunts and cries before going to bed or when he is about to wake up. At this time, the baby's crying is not too loud, regular, lingering, and even a little uneasy. Older babies often rub their eyes and noses with their hands, or stop crying. This is what people often call - dozing off. If he is tired, let him do some slow or rhythmic exercise, or say some soothing words to help him relax or put him to sleep. If he wakes up, parents should not hug him when he cries. Instead, parents can pat him gently and hum songs to him to comfort him, and gradually he will stop crying.

Babies cry for love and connection. For babies, material satisfaction is far from enough, spiritual nutrition is also needed. If your baby lies in bed all day without being cared for and lacks warmth, it will also cause him to cry irritably. At this time, parents should immediately put down what they are doing and give their baby attention, kisses, caresses, pats, and hugs. Usually, the best way is to pick your baby up and place him on your left chest so he can hear your heartbeat. You can also gently hum and caress your baby while bathing and applying oil to give him spiritual satisfaction.

How often and for how long the baby cries depends on the parents’ understanding and accuracy of judgment, that is, how the adults react to the signals sent by the baby and whether they understand the baby’s “telling”.

First-time parents, especially careless young parents, often don’t understand why their babies are crying.

I have fed him, changed his diaper, burped him, and even held him. I have tried every method, but the baby still keeps crying. This is really frustrating.

Most parents are afraid of their babies crying and regard their babies' crying as an upset. Parenting experts remind:

* You must remember that crying is the only way for babies to make requests and communicate with adults, and it is a normal thing.

* How often your baby cries and how long it lasts depends on your parents’ understanding and accuracy of judgment, that is, how you respond to your baby’s requests and how you understand your baby’s crying.

From this point of view, if the baby cries endlessly, it is the parents themselves who should be blamed: Did I not understand the baby's "telling"? Why can't I figure out the real reason for the baby's crying. Indeed, the reason why some babies become "crybabies" lies with their parents. The most common ones are -

* Unable to control the amount of food, leaving the baby hungry, or eating too much;

* The baby wants to be alone quietly, but adults do not Just care about your own happiness, hug him and tease him.

In fact, persistent crying in healthy babies can be avoided. Many details and methods in caring for your baby can help control his crying. The most important thing is to establish a set of regular living habits from an early age, especially eating and sleeping habits. If adults meet all the baby's basic needs, crying can be controlled to a minimum.

What is normal crying and what is excessive crying?

If you develop regular living habits from an early age, no baby will become a "crybaby". When basic needs are met, the baby will be happy and content. But it's normal for even the happiest and most content babies to cry a little from time to time.

A study by the University of London showed:

Newborn babies cry for an average of 2 hours a day; 6-week-old babies cry the most, and 25% of children cry for 4 hours a day. They cry a lot, and 40% of the crying occurs between 6 pm and midnight.

A Dutch researcher spent 20 years studying babies and believed:

The first year is a period of neurological growth and change for babies, and they will cry particularly hard. Neurological changes generally occur at the 5th, 8th, 12th, 15th, 23rd, 34th and 42nd weeks after the baby is born. Careful mothers will find that babies often appear restless and cry during these growth periods.

Many mothers said:

Some babies will be irritable when taking off their clothes, some will scream impatiently when changing diapers, and some babies will always groan when going to sleep. It takes him a long time to fall asleep, no matter how hard you hold him. Almost all children have a restless period in the evening and require special attention from adults to calm down.

Here, let’s talk about the various manifestations of parents’ incorrect care methods that cause children to cry non-stop.

Newborns often cry because of hunger.

In the first 1 to 2 weeks after birth, hunger is the main reason for crying. In fact, crying is the baby's last "communication" to his parents because of hunger. At this stage, parents usually lack the experience of "understanding". Parenting experts say that the simple way is to assume that all the baby's crying is because he is hungry, and feed him the milk when he cries.

A breastfed baby can remain without crying for 2 to 3 hours after a full meal, and some children may last longer. However, keeping a newborn baby quiet for a long time is not the goal pursued by parents. If the baby does not cry for 3 hours, you have to feed the baby once. This will not only reduce the baby's crying, but also help the baby adjust his biological clock.

If your baby is 2 weeks old but has not returned to his birth weight, or has not gained significant weight, then his crying may be due to hunger.

By 3 weeks of age, not enough breast milk is a common problem. The baby is likely to cry loudly because of hunger. At this time, the mother cannot give up breastfeeding easily and switch to adding formula milk to the baby. You must build up your confidence in breastfeeding and insist on breastfeeding.

The American Academy of Pediatrics believes:

The baby's sucking action will stimulate the mother's breasts to secrete milk. Every time the baby is breastfed, the mother's milk will come faster and in greater quantity.

For artificially fed babies, it is easier for parents to judge whether they are hungry based on the amount of milk they drink.

Most babies often show a strong appetite when they are 4 to 5 months old. At this time, it is necessary to consider adding solid food. For a baby who is almost 6 months old, the nutrition of milk can no longer meet his nutritional needs, and he may become grumpy because of hunger. Parents need to introduce solid foods to their children promptly and phase out midnight feedings.

Feed 4 times a day and encourage the child to slowly adapt to eating solid food.

Crying due to thirst is often ignored by adults

Generally speaking, breastfed children do not need to be fed water. However, in dry environments, such as staying indoors with sufficient heating for a long time in winter, windy seasons in autumn, and especially hot and hot summers, babies are prone to becoming irritable due to thirst. There is nothing wrong with feeding them a small amount of water. good. The water given to children must be warm after boiling. If it is mineral water, it should be low in sodium.

It is enough for breastfed children to feed water once a day. Be careful to avoid giving water to the child 1 hour before feeding, as this will affect the child's appetite. Artificially fed children are thirstier than breastfed children, so they may need to be fed water several times a day.
