The reasons for the crying baby
Sometimes it’s easy to understand why the baby is crying, there are lots of reasons why babies cry. It’s their only means of communicating something is wrong so if something is amiss it’s what they do.
Hunger, thirst, and discomfort are big ones but don’t forget there’s a lot more going on a baby’s life that can make them upset. Teething, for example, is a really painful experience. Hard lumps of enamel push their way through the gums to the surface and the experience is genuinely painful. It occurs sporadically throughout a baby’s life and quite naturally causes them to cry.

I think I’d cry too if once a week something the size of my entire arm was working its way slowly out of my arse.
There are multiple reasons for the crying baby, and summarize in:
