Understanding and Soothing Infant Cries
Newborns communicate primarily through crying, signaling various needs like hunger, fatigue, or discomfort. While deciphering these cries can be challenging for parents, it's crucial to first rule out illness or injury. Crying typically peaks around 6-8 weeks, gradually decreasing by 12 weeks. Responsive care, including feeding, sleep, and comfort, can help manage and soothe infant fussiness.
