The child cries: what is the reason?

A small helpless child, getting into an uncomfortable, cold and spacious world, undoubtedly feels "not at ease". He just did a great job helping his mother in childbirth, he is hungry, he is cold, he can not breathe. Therefore, the first thing that doctors and mother hear from a newborn is a cry that gradually turns into weeping. And from that moment the sonorous voice of the child becomes a constant companion of young parents. The reasons why a child cries can be quite a lot.

The only way to express yourself

The newborn does not know how to speak, so crying and crying for him are the main ways of expressing emotions and desires. Many mothers mistakenly believe that a child cries only when something hurts. But in fact, tears can be caused by various factors:

• Hunger (if the reason for crying in this, is to immediately feed the crumb).
• The air temperature in the room is too low or high (the average temperature in the room where the newborn is 22-25 degrees).
• Colic (with intestinal disorders help massage or specialty pharmaceuticals).
• Pain with teething.
• Wet or dirty diapers and diapers.
• Lack of attention.

In addition, the child cries when unable to fall asleep. The baby's nervous system is arranged in such a way that, with severe fatigue, the body does not relax, but on the contrary, is overexcited. It turns out a vicious circle - the more tired the baby, the more difficult it is for him to fall asleep. In this case, the mother should shake the baby, sing a quiet lullaby, make an easy stroking massage.

Often moms notice that their baby is crying while feeding. This phenomenon is caused by the fact that if the baby is not properly applied to the breast, the baby, together with the milk, swallows the air. As a result, the crumb experiences unpleasant feelings when you receive a new portion of food. In order to help the child, it is enough to make a gentle massage of the tummy or use a gas pipe - after the air comes out of the intestine, the baby will again appetite to the chest. And to avoid gazik and colic, Mom can carefully study the technique of application (its main principle - the child must capture not only the nipple, but the entire areola). By the way, this will help to eliminate the formation of cracks on the nipples.

How to help a crying baby?

Regardless of why a child cries, the first thing he needs is a mother's caress and care. Do not be afraid to take a screaming baby in your arms. Do not follow the advice "give the child a cry" or "do not accustom him to his arms." Breast babies still remember the time when they were at mom's abdomen, surrounded by a soft placenta and warm amniotic fluid. They always felt Mom's heartbeat, and it was very comforting for them. Therefore, when the child cries, you need to give him the opportunity to feel Mom's warmth again, talk to him and then start looking for the cause of the scream.

Sometimes a kid cries because he just does not like something - he does not like to swim, he does not like the wind in the street, a strange curious aunt wakes him or scared him. In such cases, it is important to try to eliminate the cause of dissatisfaction and do everything to the crumb forgot the annoying incident - you need to distract him into something more interesting and pleasant.

If the crying is repeated too often, it lasts a long time and no measures help to get rid of it, it is urgent to see a doctor - perhaps the cause of the cry lies very deeply, and only a qualified specialist will be able to identify and eliminate it.
