Perhaps one of the greatest struggles parents face with their infants is the fact that it will be months before they and their children will begin speaking the same language. Until then, an infant’s language is crying – it is the only way he or she can communicate important needs and emotions. During this time, it is normal and understandable for parents to feel distressed as they attempt to bridge this communication gap and meet their new babies’ needs. Although every baby is unique, this guide may help you figure out why your baby is crying, just by listening to the sound and watching his or her movements.
