Why does baby wake up crying?
⚡ Short answer: Babies cry waking between sleep cycles when they can't soothe themselves back; this is usually a normal part of development, but if crying lasts over 20 minutes or happens for an unknown reason, see your doctor.

Why does baby wake up crying — I'm so confused about this, what should I do?

Your baby waking up crying is really confusing — and in most cases it's not a problem but a normal part of development. Babies go through full waking between sleep cycles and sometimes can't soothe themselves back, so they cry. The most common reasons: hunger at night (especially under 6 months), teething discomfort, sleep regression (common at 4, 8, 12 months), or something in the environment (temperature, wet diaper).
Try this: when they wake crying, wait a few minutes before picking them up — sometimes just your voice or a light touch helps them fall back asleep. If crying goes over 20 minutes straight or happens for no clear reason, it could be gas, reflux, or ear infection — call your baby's doctor.
