Why Babies Cry
Babies cry for the same reason adults talk — to communicate.

Crying is the only way for infants to tell us when something is wrong. But while the baby may know what’s wrong, it’s often more difficult for new parents to decipher the meaning of their baby’s cries. As your baby grows, you will learn to recognize and differentiate among her various cries. Newborns sometimes cry up to four hours a day, and each cry can send a different message.
I have gas
Gas is very common in infants, affecting three out of four babies. Gas bubbles can cause discomfort, making baby cry. Many infants with gas will also pull their legs up, lying in a curled position to help relieve their discomfort. Infants’ Mylicon® Drops can provide safe, effective relief for your baby by gently breaking up the gas bubbles.** Use only as directed. Do not exceed 12 times per day.
