Patient's question:
Is it normal for babies to cry a lot? This has been going on for a long time, and I'm very worried, afraid it might get worse. Please give me some advice, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Actually, everyone's personality is different, so it's not normal to say that a baby not crying is abnormal. Some babies are naturally quiet and play by themselves without crying, which is also normal. So if your baby is developing well in other aspects but doesn't cry, there's really no need to worry—it's perfectly normal.On the other hand, it's best for infants not to cry. However, what we need to be cautious about is if an infant not only doesn't cry but also shows symptoms, such as excessive sleepiness, feeding difficulties, frequent vomiting of milk, or no weight gain or slow growth. In such cases, we should be alert, as it could be congenital hypothyroidism, also known as congenital hypothyroidism.
