Non-Stop Crying
Many babies cry a lot; that is no surprise to anyone. However, there is a difference between crying a lot and crying incessantly. Babies tend to get even fussier during their first couple of months of life around the hours of 4 and 7 p.m. Luckily, this phenomenon referred to as “witching hour” seems to mellow out by the time a baby reaches three months of age. Some things to do that can help ease your baby’s crying is bring them for a ride in the car or try to put on some white noise so that they can fall asleep and avoid becoming overtired, which can lead to even more crying. If your baby doesn’t stop crying, however, it could be a sign that something is wrong. Therefore, if nothing you do seems to ease your baby then you should see a healthcare professional.
