6-month-old baby crying constantly — this is my first baby and I have no idea what to do, can you help?

I completely understand — as a first-time parent, those sounds can really worry you. At 6 months, constant crying usually has one of these causes:
- Teething (6 months is right when first teeth can start coming in)
- Building a new skill (crawling, rolling) — babies sometimes get vocal during developmental leaps
- Separation anxiety starting to appear (he reacts when you leave his sight)
- Just exploring his voice — "what happens if I make this sound?"
Try this: for one day, note when he cries — right after feeding, when he wakes up, or when you step out of the room? That pattern often tells you what's happening.
Here's what needs a doctor visit: if he has a fever, his crying goes with vomiting or diarrhea, or he cries hard for 1–2 hours without stopping, call your pediatrician. If he seems healthy, content otherwise, and just testing his voice, this is part of growing up.
Trust your gut — if something feels truly wrong, reach out to your doctor.
