Baby crying meanings?

Baby crying is their only communication tool; each cry carries a message. The most common meanings can be listed as follows:
Hunger: Interrupted, increasingly intense crying accompanied by sucking movements.
Sleeplessness / fatigue: Whimpering-style crying that turns to moaning, accompanied by rubbing their eyes.
Discomfort (diaper / temperature): Restless, continuous but low-intensity crying; stops with gas relief, diaper change, or temperature adjustment.
Gas / colic: Suddenly starting, high-pitched and intense crying accompanied by legs pulling toward the stomach (generally between 2 weeks–4 months, evening/night hours).
Overstimulation / need for attention: Whiny crying that comes when overstimulated by environment, sound, or crowds; calms with a quiet, peaceful environment and skin contact.
Teething pain: Starting around 4-7 months, intensifying during the day, accompanied by drooling and hand rubbing the mouth/jaw area with restless crying.
Observing your baby's body language in addition to crying (fist clenching, back stiffening, ear tugging) helps narrow down the cause. Since every baby is different, you will learn your own baby's crying "language" over time.
