General information about cry babies
If your baby cries a lot, flatulence, overstimulation or a disturbed sleep-wake cycle can be the cause. Even if you and your partner are arguing or your offspring doesn’t know how to express themselves, they may react by screaming. Such bouts of crying usually occur in the evening. Now it is very important that you radiate calm and pick up your child without rocking or rocking it.
If your baby cries for at least three hours more than three days a week for more than three weeks, then it is considered a cry baby. In this case, you should definitely seek professional advice. Your midwife or pediatrician can certainly recommend a special cry outpatient clinic.
