Crying Baby



The primary reason and theory for baby crying is to communicate needs and discomforts that require outside intervention. This stress mechanism of crying can allow children and babies to heal from the effects of a frustrating day, fearful moment for a difficult situation.
   

Many a frustrated parent would give almost anything at times to stop a baby from crying or even soothe and calm a baby's crying so they can get them to sleep.

Remember that one of the top reasons a baby cries is because of a problem with a diaper. And the second thing to remember is one of the top ways to get a baby to stop crying is with the right baby toy.
