Parents whose babies have a crying crisis immediately feel panic. In fact, parents who do not know their babies well enough can sometimes get nervous and argue because of the sound of crying. However, babies may cry after birth for many reasons. Discovering why the baby is crying solves all the problems.

Babies should be breastfed whenever they want, especially in the newborn period. If 3 hours have passed since the feeding process, the baby should be woken up and given milk. The most effective communication between mother and baby occurs through breastfeeding. So babies express their hunger by crying.
