Why do babies cry?
More information
Babies cry for the same reason adults talk: to let others know about their needs or problems. Children may cry because they are hungry, cold, hot or just because they want to be picked up in your arms or feel a little stimulated.

Sometimes it becomes quite difficult to know what do they exactly need. Parents role is try to satisfy all their children's needs as soon and effectively as posible even if sometimes it is not easy to find out what these needs are.

 
The learning process
As time goes by, first-time parents learn to identify the reason why their baby cries. Until then, they can only rely on a trial-and-error method to know what their children need.

Babies who are often left to cry without being properly attended, may start feeling abandoned and insecure. On the other hand, the security that babies acquire during their first months will last for the rest of their lives. For all these reasons it is extremely important to know the causes of crying.
