Babies Cries- What does it indicate

Nothing can be more heart wrenching and frustrating for a doting parent than to listen to the never ending cries of their little wonders. Needless to say that all parents have to deal with the situations when despite their best efforts, the kid does not seem to stop crying. Remember that crying is the only mode of communication and attention seeking behavior of your kid and she herself does not enjoy that much. However she does not have a choice as she has still not learnt to put words to her feelings. So if you keep that in mind, may be you will be in a better position to deal with it.
Following are a few of the situations which lead to babies to cry and seek the attention of their parents:

Hungry: Take some raw milk in a bowl and heat it just enough to make it tepid. Dip cotton swab in this tepid milk and rub on face, hands, neck for about 10 min. Now wait for 20 min after application. Let it become dry and get completely absorbed into the skin. Thereafter wash with lukewarm water. This procedure will help in cleaning the skin from deep inside.

Sleepy:A lot of kids become little cranky when they feel sleepy and the only way they can vent their feelings is by crying. So put her to sleep. Sing soothing lullabies to her and she will sleep like a baby.

Feeling too cold/warm: A lot of babies want to be warm and bundled up. However if you over do it, her only way to seek your attention is by crying. So relax her a bit and she will be happy.

Pampered: A lot of babies want to be pampered, to be loved, to be cuddled and held tight, to be appreciated and talked to and smiled at. They liked to be kissed and pampered. If you do all that, she will love that and stop giving tears to you.

Uncomfortable: Wet kids invariably cry asking their parents to get them out of the messy situation and make them dry. Also if they find themselves in uncomfortable situations, they cry to get out of their little mess.

Unwell: If your little wonder is unwell, she is running fever or is having running nose, she is bound to cry asking in her small manner to help her out.

Colicky: A lot of kids cry sometimes in the dead of night due to colick pain. They writhe in pain holding their stomach sending shivers down the spines of their parents who do not know what is wrong. It is simply the cranky colicky child who is suffering from the pain. Relax her by holding her straight and the pain will subside. Also giving her gentle massage and applying a little hing powder mixed with hot oil on her stomach with cotton seems to help her many a time.

Strangers: Kids want to be in their own surroundings. If they find strangers without their parents nearby, they seem to cry asking for them to come and pick them up. Sometimes they take time to adjust to new persons and surroundings. Just give them some time to acclimatize themselves and they will be happy.

Remember one thing that crying is perhaps good for you as it is giving you an indication that something is wrong with your kid that is demanding attention. So check and double check your kid. Nothing can be more satisfying and emotional moment for a parent than sudden smile on the face of a crying child who has been pampered and attended to by you and so feels happy about the same
