Baby crying generally doesn't mean fear — hunger, gas, tiredness, discomfort, or need for attention are much more common causes. Cry from actual fear (sudden loud noise, falling, unfamiliar face) usually starts with a sharp, high-pitched shriek, followed by hiccupping breathing, and baby seeks skin contact or holding immediately for soothing. In contrast, most daily crying is rhythmic, gradually increasing, or whiny in tone. If there's no eye contact loss, blueness, stiffness, or breathlessness accompanying the cry, there's generally no reason to think the crying is fear-based.
