What are the possible reasons ? do u know Your newborn baby is your topmost priority. You take all possible care to ensure she is protected and well looked after. You are not being paranoid. Truly, a new born baby is extremely delicate; any mistake in handling the child can result in lifelong regret. Most people urge the mother to feed the baby as soon as they hear her cry. However, a baby can cry for several reasons -- colic, aches, wet nappy, boredom, the need to be held, etc. In due course of time, the mother will learn to differentiate between her baby's various cries and know if she is hungry or just needs to be held. It's important that the mother keeps a cool head when the baby is wailing. Shouting, screaming or getting nervous will make matters worse.

Hello..thats a fantastic analysis u have done..I would like to add this point: the child crying is a nature's gift..the child when comes out in the external world, it needs oxygen to breath...so far it was dependent on the mother..now it has to take the first step..so crying has been built in the process..it contracts the lungs & the first deep inhaling takes place...then this process is repeated..its the biological process...let me know what u think on this ?
