Why is my baby crying right now?
The first thing to check is if your baby is hungry. It’s by far the most common reason they cry. You can tell if they’re hungry by lightly touching their cheek and seeing if they have a “rooting” reflex. This is where they open their mouth and turn towards your touch, as if they were looking for the source of food.

If they’re not hungry, they’re possibly tired. Babies can become over tired and cry and fuss, even when you are just trying to get them to sleep. If this is the case you’ll need to calm them down first, and then you can get them to sleep.

Finally sometimes babies just cry for no reason. Isn’t parenting fun?
