3-month-old baby crying for no reason?

"Seemingly purposeless" crying in 3-month-old babies is quite common and usually stems from gas discomfort, tiredness, or overstimulation. At this age, babies haven't yet developed self-regulation skills, so crying is their most basic means of communication.
According to current pediatric views, a total of 1-3 hours of daily crying in 3-month-old babies is considered normal. It typically intensifies in the evening and may appear as episodes known as "morning colic" or "purple crying."
If your baby:
- Is not running a fever (below 38°C),
- Has normal appetite and weight gain,
- Has adequate diaper output (5-6+ wet diapers daily),
- Shows no other signs like distress, vomiting, or bloody stools aside from crying,
this crying is generally part of normal development.
When to consult your pediatrician: Crying lasting more than 3 hours, baby won't calm down, fever/rash/vomiting accompanies it, or diaper output has noticeably decreased.
