Before I had a baby of my own, I guess I thought babies just cried when they were hungry, tired, or had a dirty diaper. However, I had also heard of babies who cry a lot for no apparent reason. Somewhere along the line in my preparing for baby research, I stumbled across this very helpful article from the popular Baby Center website. Luckily my little guy has been a pretty good baby so far, but remembering this list has come in handy when I can't seem to figure out why he is crying or fussy. And to think...after I fed him some more, changed his diaper again, tried to put him to sleep, and cuddled him, all along he just needed to burp! I hope this list helps you as much as it has me.
