3-month-old crying reasons?
⚡ Short answer: The most common reasons for crying in 3-month-olds are hunger, tiredness, gas, wet diaper, or needing to be held; check these one by one first, and if crying lasts longer than 2 hours or has cramping, vomiting, or fever, see your pediatrician.

3-month-old crying reasons — this is my first baby and I have no idea, can you help?

It's completely natural to feel this uncertainty with your first baby, there's no need to worry. The most common reasons 3-month-olds cry are: hunger (they eat frequently in small amounts at this age), tiredness/lack of sleep, gas pain, wet diaper, boredom, or just needing physical contact and holding.
The first thing to try: pick one reason, wait a few minutes, then try the next. First, check if they're hungry, then check their diaper. If it's gas pain, gently cycling their legs like pedaling or softly rubbing their back can help. If none of these work and your baby is still upset, dimming the lights and holding them quietly while swaying might help.
If crying goes on for more than 2 hours, your baby seems to be drawing in and tensing up in pain, they're vomiting, or they have a fever (even a slight fever matters at 3 months), that's when I'd recommend calling your pediatrician right away.
