It is not easy to understand what your baby trying to say when he or she cries without any reason.
There are many reasons for crying. Some are hungry, some want you to hold them, while others just want to play and want to grab your attention. Although sometimes it is difficult to decode the message what they are trying to tell us, most of the moms easily understand why they are suddenly crying. But what if you already gave them milk, you are already holding them, or you give them all your attention yet they are still crying?
Here is one more suggestion: look at your baby’s feet.
We couldn’t see our baby crying, especially if he or she does not stop after the usual few minutes. Here are some steps to ensure your baby is OK:
1 Hold your baby and try to comfort them. Some people suggest that you should leave the baby alone, but it is our initial reaction to hold him or her.
2 If he or she still crying, feed them, maybe they are hungry, especially if you gave the milk last time an hour before.
3 You can play with your baby or sing to help your baby stop crying. You can even play music, which can help calm them.
4 If the baby still crying, you should try to understand the situation. This is especially important if your baby cries even worse when start comforting him or her.
5 If your baby is wearing socks, it is time to remove them quickly. Free your baby’s feet to breathe and this will help to make them feel better.
6 If the crying still going on, the next step you should follow is to check the toes of your baby. Find clues of swelling or discoloration. If this is the case, visit the Dr.
7 Check properly your baby’s foot and you will see there is a hair strand or any thin fiber wrapped around the toe because this means your baby is in pain and the strand is cutting off the blood circulation.
This condition is known as hair tourniquet and is actually quite common. However, many parents are not aware of this problem and they rarely check on their baby’s feet. Swelling and pain are unbearable for your little one. It could be dangerous if you do not pay attention to your baby’s feet.
