What causes a baby to cry at night?

Patient's question:

Hello, a 3-month-old baby always cries at night and cannot be comforted. Is it necessary to seek treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Sleep is needed. Babies need sleep because sleepiness expresses itself this way. When this physiological response expresses a need, it can manifest as a need for food, hunger, or fullness. For those who need to urinate, they cry to alert parents or indicate that they need to urinate. Emotional needs, only through skin contact between the baby and the mother, can a sense of security be established. Psychological needs may be startled and require comfort.
