DOES IT HURT A BABY TO CRY?       It all depends on what’s going on. Some mothers won’t let their babies cry for a single minute. They drop everything and run at the first whimper, which doesn’t make sense. On the other hand, crying may mean, “Hey, mom – I’m wet”, or “How about changing this messy diaper”, or”I’ve been swallowing air and have a tummy-ache. Sit me up in your arms and burp me!” An overly filled, or empty stomach, may also cause crying, or maybe baby’s just tired and need to cry himself to sleep. All babies are going to do some crying.
