What does 'inga' mean in baby crying?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

'Inga' is not a term in baby crying languages; as far as I know, there's no crying type or pattern called 'inga.' It might be a typo or a different version of an expression you heard.

If you hear a sound like 'inga-ga,' here's what it might mean: it's a tense, whimpering sound your baby makes during discomfort, tightness, or gas cramps. Usually sounds like 'ingaa' or 'innn' and happens when your baby isn't hungry but rather has stomach pain, gas cramps, or needs a diaper change.

So briefly: 'inga' as far as I know isn't a crying type, but an 'ingaa'-type sound could signal gas/discomfort. If your baby makes this sound and pulls their legs toward their belly, their face reddens, or they seem restless, gas cramps are likely — you can try the bicycle motion or gently rub their back then.
