When a child appears in the house, all members of the family try to surround him with care, love and attention. But sometimes it happens that the child suddenly begins to cry and sometimes parents can not understand the reason for such crying. It would seem that the baby is well-groomed, fed, dressed, communicated with, and parents are simply in confusion, how to help calm the child.
A newborn child constantly cries: how to understand what he wants?
Often parents wonder why the child is constantly crying for no apparent reason. However, this is only at first glance, there are no such obvious signs, indicative of the discomfort of the child. A baby child will never cry for no reason. He always has a reason for this. It's just that sometimes parents do not immediately recognize the signals coming from the child.
Since a newborn child can not speak, he can not tell his parents about his desires, feelings and feelings other than to start crying. Crying for him is a way of communication, an opportunity to show that something he is experiencing is not so. And the reasons for such crying may be different:
- most often the baby starts to cry when hungry. Such crying is often accompanied by reddening of the face, the kid begins to pull his handles forward and crying slowly, demanding food;
- The baby experiences discomfort while in a wet diaper. With the help of crying, he informs his parents that it is time for him to change his clothes. And such crying can be at any time of the day, when the child is not very active sobs, demonstrating in this way his condition;
- Uncomfortable clothing can also become a reason for crying, causing unpleasant sensations. Parents should look at the baby's clothes more closely, perhaps, somewhere there was an extra fold on the clothes or rubbing the button. In this case, the crying stops immediately, as the annoying moment is eliminated;
- the child is tired of lying in one pose. Most of the time, the little child spends the same time - lying down. No wonder that a constant lying can get boring, especially when there is so much interesting around. A kid can call his parents, crying a little, thus attracting their attention and demanding a change in their position. In this situation, children are very fond of when they are worn on pens, so they calm down more quickly;
- Unusable temperature in the room can cause irritation to the baby. It can be hot or, conversely, very cold. If he is hot, then he begins to blush and try to get out of his clothes, strenuously moving his arms and legs. If he is frozen, then at first the child abruptly cries, and then quietly and for a long time, sometimes even a hiccup;
- crying during feeding indicates that the child has health problems. Perhaps, his ear hurts and during feeding, swallowing increases pain. With nasal congestion, the child is also hard to eat, because the nose is clogged. The crying in this case is loud, the child can scream. Mom can suck off the aspirator snot and continue feeding;
- crying after feeding indicates that the baby is disturbed by colic. It must be remembered that after eating it is necessary to keep the child in a column so that gases can escape;
- constipation, as a cause of discontent of the child, is more common in children who are on artificial feeding. As a result of excessive irritation of the anus, the baby can cry loudly and loudly;
- the child is tired of the environment and wants to sleep, he begins to whine and reacts little to changes occurring around;
- the kid wants to communicate with his parents. In this case, crying acts as a signal to such communication.
- often a child can react with crying for weather changes. Not only adults, but also children are meteodependent. You need to pay more attention to the baby in order to reduce his discomfort.
What should I do if the child constantly cries for a long time?
Over time, parents begin to discern the power of voice, timbre, the situation in which the baby cries. And they already more clearly understand what exactly the child wants right now. Such discrimination in the child's crying from the parents occurs only with the time when they have gained experience and know how and when their baby cries. In this case, it is easier for them to immediately help meet the needs of the child.
Sometimes it seems to parents that the baby is crying for no reason. Perhaps this is due to the presence of the baby's easily excitable nervous system. If a child is quickly excited and reacts violently to the environment, then it is necessary to spend as much time as possible in the open air, not to include loud music or a TV in his presence, not to talk on high tones, to reduce the number of very loud toys that can enhance the overexcitement of the baby . That is, the main task of parents is to remove irritating factors.
Regardless of the reason for crying baby, there are a number of rules of behavior that are important to observe:
- if the child has begun to cry, you should immediately react to it: go up, grab on the handles, pat on the head;
- eliminate the cause of crying: if the baby wants to eat, then feed it; if it is hot, then air in the room; when trying to attract attention - tell him a tale or sing a song;
- parents themselves need to remain calm, because the nervous situation in the family will only strengthen the child's tension.
If the child can not calm down for a long time and all the measures taken do not help, you can contact a psychologist who will help to establish contact with the child and give confidence to the parents in their abilities. Or, in case of suspected physical ailments, call a doctor.
