Things You Need to Know about Your Baby's Cries Image1

Imagine a scenario when you’ve just prepped your baby for her night sleep and tucked her in her cosy blanket. As soon as you step aside to complete your daily chores, you suddenly hear her wailing loudly. New to parenting, you have no clue why your baby is crying. You’ve just fed your baby, checked their nappy, and even changed them into comfortable clothes. So, what went wrong?

Almost every mother faces this daunting situation. The hardest thing is to decode the reason behind a baby’s cry. We all wish our babies could communicate and convey the things that are bothering them. Well, if not words, babies do showcase different signs for each type of their crying. As a mother, all you need to do is closely observe your baby’s signals and act accordingly.

Common Reasons Behind A Baby’s Cry

Babies have their own way of letting their parents know the cause of their discomfort by making peculiar sounds. In fact, most of them are quite common and easy to understand as well. Let’s take a look at some common baby cries and how to deal with these situations.


Hunger

Identifying a hungry baby is quite easy. In addition to letting out a loud cry, they will gnaw that their hand and even peck towards the breast of the mother. The typical ‘nah-nah’ sound indicates that it’s time for you to feed them.

What you can do: A hunger cry is usually rhythmic and simple to understand. If they’re being breastfed, it’s time to indulge in a breastfeeding session. In case the baby is on formula feeding, parents should prepare smaller feeds for the baby but more frequently.


Sleepy Baby

Sometimes the crying is related to sleep. The baby may just be too tired and wants to go off to sleep but they cannot sleep on their own. Your sleepy little one may not just cry, but might also start to yawn and rub their eyes. These signs are your baby’s way of communicating the desire to sleep.

What you can do: Parents can hold and swaddle the baby. In case they continue to cry, change their environment. Take them to a calmer place and sing them a soothing song. Massaging them is another way to relax them and help them sleep peacefully.

Wet Diapers

Another common reason behind the cry of a baby can be a wet nappy. It’s also an answer to a common question – why do babies cry at night? Wet and dirty diapers make babies really uncomfortable. Many babies can't handle or withstand being dirty and they let out a more scream-like cry.

What you can do: Immediately check their nappy. Change it even if they have peed or pooped only a little bit. Changing into a fresh nappy will immediately calm and relax the baby. 



There are many clever ways that can help soothe your fussy little one. Sometimes a gentle hold or a soothing massage can be really effective in relieving them of their discomfort.

At the same time, parents should understand that only the best products should be used for massaging the babies. Developed in association with baby and skin experts, Vicks BabyRub is a gentle rub  specially designed for babies, Vicks BabyRub may help to calm crying, anxious, and fussy babies, with a mom’s loving massage.

It contains two key natural ingredients; Aloe Vera and Coconut Oil that helps moisturise your baby’s skin. Together with a gentle massage, Fragrances of Rosemary and Lavender help in relaxing your baby, leaving them smelling good and feeling happy.
