All babies cry. And sometimes it can be hard to cope with. When they cry, they're trying to tell you something. Your baby may need to feed more often than you thought. Babies need lots of cuddles and touch. They feel safe when they can see your face, hear your voice, smell you, and feel your touch. Check to see if they're nappy as wet or dirty. Sometimes babies get over excited, especially if they've had lots of visitors. Try rocking them gently in a dimly lit room. This will help if they're having trouble sleeping. If they have a high temperature, they may have an illness. If you think there's something wrong, ring NHS Direct Wales for advice on 08454647. Try to respond to your baby when they cry.
