10 Common Reasons Your Baby Is Crying — And What New Parents Can Do About It

2. Discomfort: Diaper and Clothing Issues

Discomfort caused by a wet or soiled diaper is another frequent cause of a baby's tears. Babies have sensitive skin, and prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to irritation or diaper rash. Regular diaper changes are crucial in preventing such discomfort. Additionally, ill-fitting clothing or fabrics that irritate the skin can also lead to crying. Parents should ensure that their baby's clothing is comfortable and appropriate for the weather conditions. Checking for tight elastics, tags, or seams that might cause discomfort is also important. By maintaining a clean and comfortable environment, parents can minimize discomfort-related crying and help their baby feel at ease.
