Some parents have found that every time they depart, their babies will go into freak-out mode, crying and screaming in protest. It is a signal to ask their parents don’t go.

  Besides, after birth, every baby is in a new world. They need to take some time getting used to it. From the beginning, it is normal to be afraid of meeting strangers. When a stranger has approached, it may cause distraction, anger, anxiety, or fear to babies. Then they will cry.

  When a baby is crying, hunger is the first thing to consider. This is also a kind of common reason. Newborns normally need to be fed every few hours, about 8 to 12 times in one day. Parents can make a further judgment if the baby has hand-to-mouth movements or lip-smacking. If a baby has these performances, it means the baby is hungry.

1.4 Sleepless, tired, or fatigue
