Baby crying episodes are quite common and normal, especially in the first months. The most common cause is colic — usually starting at 2-3 weeks, peaking at 4-6 weeks, and resolving on its own around 3-4 months. In colic, crying typically intensifies in the evening, occurs at least 3 days a week, lasts longer than 3 hours a day, and the baby cannot be soothed.
Other possible causes: hunger, gas pain, fatigue (overstimulation), diaper irritation, reflux (especially when laid back after feeding and crying), teething (after 4-6 months), and signs of infection.
Things you can try: gently rocking the baby, white noise (like a hair dryer), burping to help release gas by holding the baby upright, a warm bath, swaddling, offering a pacifier, and creating a calmer environment.
When to see a pediatrician: fever over 38°C in babies under 3 months, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, breathing difficulty, bluish discoloration, not urinating for 8+ hours, or if crying has persisted longer than 2 weeks.
