JAKARTA - Babies often try to communicate through a cry. Because they can't talk yet, babies have different cries that match their meaning. In general, babies often cry until the age of 2 months. The frequency and duration of crying will slowly decrease until at the age of 4 months the Little One will rarely cry. For that, pay attention to the 5 types of baby cries and their meanings, quoted from various sources on Friday, January 23.

Hungry

If the Little One does not stop crying and his cries are like desperate people, it means that the Little One is hungry. Sometimes the tone of his cries is quite high.

Tired

Babies cry with their eyes open and sound helpless, indicating that they are tired. Their cries have pauses and are easier to calm. In addition, babies can close their eyes or open their eyes and squint, blush, and often rub their eyes.

Bored or Over-stimulated

When the Little One is bored, he is more easily laughing when he sees something interesting. However, if the Little One gets overstimulated by certain stimuli, his crying will get louder and can even make the Little One scream.

Angry and Uncomfortable

The cries of babies who are upset or uncomfortable will sound like a moan. Sometimes, the little one also beats his hands.

Pain

The cries of a baby who is in pain will sound more shrill. This is sometimes accompanied by a back arch. However, if the pain is felt in the abdominal area, the baby will raise his knees to his chest.
