Crying of the baby shrill, loud, it cannot almost be transferred quietly – and it is not accidental. Shout – the only way of the kid to signal people around that something does not suit it.
Newborn babies do not cry without the reason. They cannot, contrary to common opinion, simply "to be capricious". If the child cries, then are not satisfied some of his basic requirements without which his further normal existence and development is impossible. The child will shout until the problem which he faced is not solved therefore that shout stopped, it is necessary to find its reason and to try to eliminate it.
Babies not so have not enough reasons for shout. Here the most widespread of them.
Wants to eat
The newborn baby intensively grows therefore needs food each 2 - 2.5 hours. But a problem that the child cannot independently satisfy hunger therefore he loud shout notifies adults that it is hungry, at the same time smacking the lips and making sosatelny movements by a mouth. Having received food, the hungry kid calms down at once.
Gastric gripes
Process of digestion in the first 2-3 months of life at the newborn only returns to normal, and digestive tract was not created finally yet. Therefore at such age of the kid gripes often torment. At the same time the child loudly shouts, most often after a while after feeding or even during it. To alleviate suffering of the baby, it is necessary to watch that after feeding the kid srygnut, having released surplus of food and air. It is possible to make massage around a navel, to put a warm diaper on a tummy, to bring legs of the kid to a stomach. It is necessary to spread the baby on a tummy from first weeks of life.
Discomfort under a diaper or clothes
Some kids violently react to a wet diaper, and it is natural: the newborn's skin too thin and gentle, and wet impact on it, the calla, just broken temperature condition and the increased humidity causes irritation (so-called "potnichka"). It is clear, that it does not give to the child pleasure, and he reacts shout. For the same reason the kid can show concern in inconvenient clothes: even the smallest fold is capable to inflict on it suffering.
Fatigue
Nervous system not only newborn, but also more senior child is still very imperfect: processes of excitement in it prevail over braking processes therefore if the kid overtired, it is difficult for it to calm down and fall asleep independently. In this case he begins to be capricious, cry, can behave even is more noisy and is active, than usually, getting tired even more. The help is necessary for the child to calm down. It is possible to try to turn off the light, to remove extraneous noises, to shake the baby on hands. Surprisingly, but many children fall asleep under so-called "white noise" which arises during the operation of the hair dryer, vacuum cleaner and other evenly hooting electric devices. Some kids quickly calm down in moving transport.
Heat or cold
Thermal control of the newborn is still imperfect therefore he feels strong discomfort at too high or too low ambient temperature. It is especially dangerous to babies of heat: at the kid temperature can rise, his skin reddens, and he begins to cry loudly. At the same time the newborn transfers cool air enough with firmness. You should not muffle up excessively the kid to avoid overheating, and here drafts can be dangerous to it.
Need for communication
The newborn child needs communication even more than the adult. Direct contact "skin to skin", tender intonations of a mother's voice, heat of her body give it feelings of rest and security, and this necessary condition for normal mental development of the child at early stages of life. It is noticed that the babies who as the fates decree appeared in residential care facility right after the birth very quickly cease to cry: they feel that their need for communication will not be able to be satisfied, and cease to signal that need protection and care. Researches showed that such mental trauma leads to the wrong formation of the emotional sphere of the child with age, and its consequences do not give in to correction and leave a mark in mentality of the person for the rest of life. Therefore you should not be afraid to take the kid on hands once again and to present him that feeling of rest and safety which it so needs.
