Patient's question:
Little baby, 22 days old, started crying yesterday. Holding them doesn't stop the crying, and they even fell asleep, but as soon as they're put down, they start crying loudly, louder than usual. No, please explain.Doctor's answer:
It's very common for babies to be like this, so there's no need to worry. Many babies at this age are the same. It's a good idea to bathe your baby frequently and check for any redness on their body. Even if you apply diaper cream, that's fine. As long as your baby is doing well in all other aspects, crying is normal. The first three months are usually the most challenging for mothers, but it gets much easier after that.
