Even the most thoroughly prepared child won t necessarily welcome the new baby with open arms. They re also completely understandable.
New babies cry for many different reasons.
They may cry because they re hungry or sleepy, because they re bored or need a cuddle, because something hurts or they re too hot or too cold, or because they have a wet or dirty diaper. Usually Mommy or Daddy can figure out why the new baby is crying, and they can help make the crying stop. All that crying can sometimes be hard to listen to, and you may get pretty tired of hearing it. But don t worry. New babies have very tiny tummies that fill up quickly and empty out quickly.
