hush little baby...
All babies cry that ofcourse includes Andrew, no exception there.It gets frustrating at times but keep in mind the only way a baby can communicate is by crying.Relax, take a deep breathe and everything will be fine.
-Hunger-
The most common reason. If you're baby cries after an hour and you think he/she is still hungry then just feed the poor baby.Some babies like Andrew for instance drinks more frequently then others or you could just give him more so you won't have to be feeding him every hour, this only applies for babies who doesn't keep spitting out their milk.Babies are the happiest when they're at their fullest!
-Dirty or Wet Diaper-
Not all babies mind a wet or dirty diaper, most do, and a clean diaper will stop the crying.
-Colic-
Some babies needd to burp and when they don't they get uneasy because of the trapped air. Very common for the first 3 months. If this happens talk to your pediatrician bout it, there are formulas out there that can help.
-too hot or too cold-
Babies get uncomfortable by the temperature just like we do.If you're feeling hot or cold chances are the baby does too.
-Fatigue-
Some babies including Andrew at times have difficulty falling sleep. At times some babies just need to cry to fall asleep. Eversince i've been babysitting, they have all told me that just leave the baby in the crib put on some soothing music and just let the baby cry.This also teaches the baby how to comfort himself. When it comes to Andrew, i just can't bare for him to cry like that but i do let him cry it out for afternoon naps not more then 15 minutes.Singing and rocking the baby also helps. I saw this on TV and it does help but when i stop doing it, he cries. All you've got to do is carry your baby and make a SHHHHHHH sound next to his ear.

When your baby's not feeling well he'll cry.Check if he's got a cold and trust your maternal instincts.
-bored-
Babies do get bored and they do need to be entertained.Make funny faces and talk to your baby.
Sometimes a baby just needs to cry, so stay calm eventhough its hard to do.A baby knows when you're panicking so thats not gonna help.Remember, take a deep breathe.
