Why is a 2-month-old fussy?

This is one of the most common questions asked in Women's Club forums. The most common causes of fussiness in 2-month-olds are:
1. Colic (infantile colic): Starts from 2-3 weeks, peaks in the 2nd month. Usually evening crying, pulling legs to stomach, clenching fists.
2. Hunger: 2-month-olds still feed frequently (every 2-3 hours). During growth spurt periods (around 6 weeks), they may want to feed more often.
3. Sleepiness / overtiredness: At this age, awake time shouldn't exceed 45-60 minutes. If the baby is tired but can't sleep, fussiness results.
4. Reflux: If there's vomiting after feeding, arching backward, or fussiness, reflux should be considered.
5. Overstimulation: Crowded, noisy environments overstimulate 2-month-olds and lead to fussiness.
If your baby cries for more than 3 hours daily, at least 3 days a week, gains weight well, and is generally healthy, this is likely colic and will pass. If there are additional signs like fever, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, always consult your pediatrician.
