Shin Yee Jin, the industry leader in Korean child education and parenting and author of the Psychological Encyclopedia for Children series, said that crying babies all have different meanings that parents It is completely possible to "decode the code" to handle the child's problems and take care of the baby more effectively.
1 - Your baby's cries are loud, repetitive, and getting louder and louder, even screaming, grumpy
I'm trying to tell you: I'm hungry
When hungry, the baby's crying will often repeat and will not stop until the mother has received the signal. Mothers should know that because they cry a lot when they are hungry, they will swallow a lot of air, leading to gas and this makes the baby more uncomfortable and cry more. So, as soon as you realize that your baby is hungry, feed him, before he gets excited.
Some other signs: mouth tip, hand suck, rub her face against her chest, open her mouth, if she notices, saliva flows around the baby's mouth ...
2. After eating, the baby cried loudly and violently
He is trying to tell you: he needs to burp
Grunting as soon as a food is given is often evidence of a stomach ache, and your baby will be upset until belching is present. At such times, the mother should give measures to help the baby get rid of this unpleasant feeling. Mom can hold baby upright and face to chest, chin rested on shoulder, then gently stroke baby's back. There are some mothers who put the baby on their knees, one hand supports the baby's chest and lift his chin, the other hand pats his back lightly. You should remember to put a thin towel under your chin, in case the baby is back.
Some other signs that your baby needs to burp is that he bends his knee to his chest. Help your baby by lying on his back, holding his feet and moving his legs like a bike ride.
3. The baby's cry seems irritable and mixed between laughter and crying, sometimes even screaming
Baby wants to say: I'm over-stimulated
Babies are receiving too much stimulation from external factors such as lights, loud sounds or hand-to-hand transmission from person to person. And your baby may feel like it, but when it happens too much or goes beyond his tolerance, he gets upset. That's why babies sometimes reconcile crying and laughter.
Some other signs are: The baby turns his head away from where there is too much stimulation. Many babies love to be protected by wrapping them tightly in a diaper when noisy surroundings are around. When the baby is overwhelmed by the sound, the mother should hold the baby until it is quieter, to avoid letting the baby get too excited.
4. The baby cries, pauses, cries and stops. When the mother cools, the baby will stop, but then cry again
What does the baby want to say to his mother: I'm sleepy
Parents often ignore their child's sleepy cry, especially when it falls in times they didn't expect. Children's sleep is extremely important, if the child lacks sleep will affect the child's health as well as intelligence in the future. There are days when the baby is always sleepy, but there are times when the mother tries to calm her down and she refuses to sleep. Even if your baby took a nap an hour ago and he's still crying, he probably hasn't gotten enough sleep and needs some more sleep.
Other cues: Baby rubs his eyes, cries while eyes are closed and yawning.
5. The baby's crying sound is strange, different than usual
The baby wants to say to his mother: I am sick
The cry of a sick infant is different from the cry of hunger or boredom. If you find your baby's crying sounds different, or the baby can't stop crying for a few hours, trust your baby to see the doctor before anything unfortunate happens.
Other signs are: The baby has a fever, he does not want to eat, he is lethargic or difficult to sleep, the amount of urine is low or has unusual behaviors.
6. Mom tried to use everything but still could not stop the loud, constant crying of the child. And this doesn't happen once. I cried like that every day and lasted for many hours
I want to tell you: I have Colic syndrome - crying stomach problems
Colic - Prolonged irritability syndrome is a term used to describe how a healthy baby cries too much, doesn't stop crying in physically healthy babies. If your baby is younger than 5 months old and cries more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week, more than 3 weeks in a row, he probably has this syndrome. This is not a disease and does not cause long-term harm to your baby's health but makes both your baby and you tired.
Children often fussy and cry from 6 pm until midnight but the mother cannot calm down. However, at other times of the day, the baby still eats well and sleeps well, it is crying stomach problems. This phenomenon will gradually decrease as the baby grows up without affecting the child's health and development.
Drying in the stomach is not a disease, so if the child is fussy and accompanied by other symptoms such as sweating or anorexia, parents should take their children to the pediatrician to find out.
