Why does a 1-month-old baby cry at night?

The most common reason a 1-month-old cries at night is hunger. At this age, their stomach capacity is very small, so they need to eat every 2-3 hours. Other frequent causes of crying include a wet or dirty diaper, gas colic (especially concentrated in evening and night hours), uncomfortable room temperature, or simply wanting to be held and soothed.
At this age, since babies haven't yet developed the ability to soothe themselves, nighttime waking is completely normal developmental process. If crying is intense, if the baby screams suddenly as if in pain and draws their legs toward their stomach, it could be gas colic (infantile colic). If there are accompanying symptoms like fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or blood in the diaper, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
