Why Is My Newborn Crying All the Time? So, here you are—a queen of cool, juggling life like a boss, but now faced with this tiny, perfect mystery who cries all the time. Suddenly, your confidence is shaken, your sleep is MIA, and you’re wondering if you’ve bitten off more than you can chew. Spoiler alert: you haven’t. Let’s decode the crying game together.

First, Let’s Normalise It

Newborns? They’re not crying to mess with you or because you’re doing something wrong. Crying is their language—it’s how they say, “I’m hungry,” “I’m uncomfortable,” or “Hey, the world is really bright and noisy.” It’s overwhelming for them (and for you!), but every cry has a reason, even if it feels like you’re trying to crack the world’s toughest puzzle.

Why Newborns Cry

Here are the most common reasons your tiny rockstar might be wailing:

  1. Hunger: They need food—a lot, and often. Newborn tummies are teeny tiny.
  2. Tiredness: Yes, babies fight sleep like it’s their sworn enemy.
  3. Overstimulation: Too many bright lights, sounds, or visitors can frazzle them.
  4. Nappy Drama: Wet or dirty nappies are a major mood-killer.
  5. Cuddles: Sometimes they just want to feel your warmth, smell your scent, and hear your heartbeat.

But What If You’ve Tried Everything?

Sometimes, babies cry just because they’re adjusting to life outside the womb. Remember, they’ve gone from a cozy, muffled world to bright lights, strange smells, and infinite possibilities. It’s a lot.
