Why does a 3-month-old baby cry when falling asleep?

It's quite common and normal for 3-month-old babies to cry when falling asleep. At this age, babies haven't yet developed the ability to soothe themselves. The transition to sleep they experience (from one cycle to another) can make them uncomfortable, because unlike adults, they can't consciously say 'I'm going to sleep.' Another factor is that some babies at 3 months are still experiencing gas colic or reflux discomfort. So crying isn't usually a problem — it's the only way baby can communicate during the sleep transition. A consistent bedtime routine (dim lights, calm surroundings, gentle stroking) will make this transition easier over time.
