Talk with Dr. Por: When Your Baby Won’t Stop Crying
New moms and dads who have just received the most precious gift—a newborn baby—may sometimes face a challenging situation.
When their little one won’t stop crying without any clear reason, it may be because the baby still cannot communicate with the parents. When feeling physically uncomfortable,
crying is their only way of expressing distress.
Causes of Persistent Baby Crying
There are many possible causes—hunger, heat, a wet diaper, sleepiness, or colic. Parents should carefully inspect their baby from head to toe
to identify and correct any discomfort. Frequent crying episodes can lead to parental stress and anxiety,
negatively affecting their mental health and reducing their confidence in caring for the child,
possibly leading to postpartum depression.
“Today, Dr. Por will talk about the causes of persistent baby crying and how to care for your baby.”
