Cry Ambulances

Some babies cry for no apparent reason. And sometimes for several hours a day, often in the afternoon or evening hours. They are not sick or hungry or have full diapers. Nevertheless, they cannot be calmed down. Even though such crying episodes are harmless in most cases, they are usually very stressful for parents. In addition to the heavy burden on the parents, there is the worry of doing something wrong.

Frequent and prolonged crying is nothing unusual in the first weeks. If your baby cries and whines for more than 3 hours on more than 3 days a week over a period of 3 weeks, this is called excessive crying. The cause of such pronounced crying attacks rarely lies with the parents. The screaming can have a variety of causes:

• Sometimes babies have problems finding their way to sleep.
• It may be that the baby gets too little sleep during the day, overstimulated and overwhelmed by too many impressions.
• Some babies find it harder to a sleep-wake rhythm.
• Some babies are temperamental or restless and require their parents a particularly sensitive response to their needs.
• Some babies make digestive problems especially in the evening hours. The reason for this is that the digestive system in the first months of life must still mature.
