Club Mom will simplify your life with customizable checklists and interactive calendars. Infant Crying Infants have very few means of communicating. Crying is one of them. This is their only way of letting you know they're uncomfortable. They could be hungry, sleepy, wet, too warm, too cold, frightened or in pain.
Some babies cry much more than others.
While this is distressing and exhausting for the parents, it will pass. Maybe not before you collapse in a pile of laundry one morning from sleep deprivation, but the situation does improve. I am a firm believer in always tending to a crying baby as soon as possible. If your baby is crying, ignoring her pleas for help or reassurance is cruel. There are experts who recommend letting a baby cry it out at times, especially at bedtime or if a baby has awakened at an inopportune time for mom or dad.
