Newborn baby always crying: causes and remedies
Why does the newborn always cry ? If you have ever asked yourself this question, you probably know how tiring and hard it is to witness the desperate crying of your child and feel helpless.
In this article I will explain how to understand the various causes of crying, physiological and otherwise, but above all what to do to calm your baby's constant crying and help him feel better.
I can tell you in advance that the constant crying and moaning of a newborn is NOT normal , on the contrary.
If the newborn cries all the time it means that there is something that is causing him pain; in the first months of life the main causes are gas colic and infant reflux .
Every month I successfully treat hundreds of babies who are constantly crying, mostly because they suffer from colic and infant reflux.

The newborn communicates with crying
From the moment of birth, when the newborn cries to communicate that he has become part of the world, until he begins to express himself correctly, crying is the child's only means of communication .
It is interesting to know that the newborn tries to imitate the mother's voice that he heard from the belly with the only method in his possession: crying . In fact, according to scientific studies, it is possible to recognize different amplitudes and frequencies in association with the tone and language of the mother.
There are a thousand shades in the crying of the newborn based on the needs that the little one tries to communicate. In fact, the little one can cry for 3 physiological causes: hunger, sleep and to be changed . However, if the newborn continues to cry even after these have been resolved, it is necessary to investigate to understand what is bothering him.
Newborn always cries desperately in the evening
“ The newborn always cries in the evening.”
This is one of the most recurring phrases that I hear in my office. Desperate crying in the evening can have two causes: physiological and non-physiological. Let's look at both in detail.
Physiological causes
If the newborn cries only in the evening, eats peacefully, sleeps regularly (based on his age) and has normal bowel movements, we are probably dealing with one of the 3 physiological causes.
In fact, occasional and consolable evening crying can be associated with an accumulation of tiredness, an episode of hunger or in the case of a dirty diaper.
Once these are resolved, the newborn should feel calm again and be able to fall asleep peacefully.
If it is tiredness, the advice is to cuddle the little one and rock him in your arms. In addition, a massage could also help him relax and fall asleep more peacefully.
The first few months can be a bit difficult for parents if the little one still has to get used to a correct sleep-wake rhythm . In this case, you can follow the advice of the Sleep Consultant in the video course “ Sweet dreams, peaceful nights ” to help the whole family rest.
