Why won't my baby stop crying?

Every mom and every dad knows this moment: Your baby is crying, and no matter what you do, it just won't stop. Your heart is racing, your nerves are on edge. But crying is your baby's language and says more than you think. And the good news: In the vast majority of cases, there's nothing wrong with it.

The most common reasons for crying

• Hunger – especially newborns need food every 2-4 hours
• Tiredness – Babies find it difficult to calm down on their own
• Flatulence or stomach ache – the small intestine is still immature
• Overstimulation – too many impressions make babies restless
• Need for closeness – sometimes your baby just wants physical contact

How to calm your baby

• Introduce rituals – calm, consistent routines before going to bed provide security and trust
• Heat & Massage – gentle abdominal massage or a warm pillow, e.g. from KUDDLY by sticklett, help with colic
