The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

When a baby cries for a long time, it usually means the baby is expressing a need or discomfort. While short-term crying is typically about hunger, diaper change, or sleep signals; prolonged and intense crying can indicate gas, teething, extreme fatigue, or an illness.

Depending on the baby's age, prolonged crying lasting longer than 3 hours that can't be soothed and during which the baby pulls their legs to their belly is usually associated with colic (gas pain). However, if the crying is accompanied by fever, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, or other symptoms, or if the baby can't be calmed, it's important to consult a pediatrician right away. In the newborn period (0-3 months) especially, if high fever is present, seek medical help immediately.
