Why does a baby cry for long periods?
Patient: my landlord has over 11-month female baby. Yesterday night about 1240, she started crying and it took about an hour. After that, she cried again about 0320 am till morning. I held that baby and she has no fever and her tummy, her hands and her feet were also warm. I do not know what happened with her. Her mother is not educated. Please advise me the possibilities. Doctor: Hello! Thank you for writing! There are some simple causes why a baby cries: the baby can feel hunger, is wet and needs to change the diaper, has temperature. This are the mos banal causes of crying. Is the baby good in weight, defeates and urinate well? I suggest to see a pediatrician to do a total excamination of the baby. Wish the baby good health.
