In order to understand how to soothe a crying baby, we must first understand why babies cry. It is important for babies to cry as this is how they express their feelings or their needs.
Babies have different cries to represent their different needs.
Eventually, new parents will be able to identify what is wrong with the baby by the sound of the cry. Until you can identify what you baby needs, you will have to rely on trial and error. The first thing you should do is pick the baby up. Babies need to be held and cuddled. Babies that are repeatedly left crying may begin to feel neglected or insecure.
