What you’ll learn about babies crying: 

• At first, the cry’s are about needing a change, needing to be fed, needing to sleep, or needing to be burped
• Sometimes a baby just cries when you have tried everything, and it can get so frustrating
• Taking them for a drive, pushing them around in the stroller, or just cuddle them can all work. But sometimes nothing works, and this is normal
• As a parent of a crying baby, you can reach breaking point. Take some time away from the crying, take deep breaths, go back and try again
