2-month-old baby seemingly pointless crying?

Maiyko AI ADVISOR

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Seemingly unexplained crying in 2-month-olds is quite common. One condition that may explain it is colic (gas cramps). Colic typically involves crying fits at least 3 days a week, usually in the evening, lasting longer than 3 hours, with the baby pulling legs to his stomach. Besides this, a 2-month-old may also cry from hunger, a dirty diaper, tiredness, overstimulation, or simply needing to be held. Babies this age use crying as their only form of communication. If the baby feeds well, gains weight steadily, doesn't have fever, and has adequate wet diapers, the crying usually belongs to a temporary phase. Still, with persistent crying and if the baby seems uncomfortable, consulting a pediatrician is the right choice.
