What’s Normal about Crying?
As hard as it may be to listen to sometimes, crying is
something your baby is supposed to do! It is her way
of saying, “Something is not right. Care is needed,
please!”
WHY DO BABIES CRY?
Hunger is the most
common reason babies
cry, but certainly not the
only reason. Usually, if a
newborn has been fed and burped within the last
hour and a half, chances are she needs something
else. Maybe she wants to be held, maybe she is cold,
or maybe she just needs to be reminded that you are
there for her.
You may think that as a parent you are somehow
supposed to magically know what each cry means.
You won’t. No parent does. At least, not at first. As
you and your baby get to know each other, you will
learn to read her cues and her cries. Child
development experts agree: you cannot spoil your
newborn by responding to her cries.
There may be times when you feel like your new
baby is trying to control you with her crying.
However, scientists now know that it is not until later
in the first year of life when babies learn that they
have the power to get you to behave in certain ways.
For babies six months or younger, your quick and
loving response - as much as food - is a comfort to
her if she is upset.
HOW MUCH DO BABIES CRY?
While all babies cry, the amount depends on the
baby. It is common for babies to cry on average for a
total of one hour over the course of a day during the
first few weeks. This may increase to as much as two
hours total a day when the baby is six weeks old.
Then, after about eight weeks or so, that amount
may go back down to about an hour a day total.
If your baby cries a lot more than the average, he
could have colic. Of course, five minutes of crying can
feel like an hour if you have only had a couple hours
of sleep! Use a crying diary to track how much your
baby is really crying. It may be less than it seems.
Share this info, along with total sleeping and crying
amounts with your baby’s health care provider.
Charting how much your baby cries can be helpful if
you think she may have colic.
COMFORTING YOUR BABY
There is no one right way to comfort a crying baby.
But there are lots of different
strategies that work. Consider them
all tools in your toolbox. When one
does not work, try the next one! Ask
your parents or grandparents what
soothing techniques they used with
you. The same ones may comfort
your baby. With time and practice,
you will find what works best for you
and your baby. Just keep trying!
SWADDLING
Swaddling is another word for snuggly wrapping your
baby – kind of like a burrito! While it may seem
strange to us, babies really like being wrapped up so
that it’s hard for them to move their arms or legs.
When they were in the womb, they did not have
much wiggle room. So being swaddled feels like
home to them.
This is how to swaddle your baby:
1. Spread out a large blanket on a flat
surface (blankets that have a little stretch are
good for swaddling)
2. Turn down the top corner of the blanket to
make a triangle
3. Lay your baby so his head is just above
the fold
4. Hold one arm at his side and bring the
blanket flap on that side of his body across
his chest
5. Tuck the flap behind his back, between his
torso and other arm
6. Take the bottom triangle and bring it up to
your baby’s chest
7. Pull up the remaining flap snugly across his
chest to secure the other arm, and wrap it
behind him as far as it will go

¿Qué es lo Normal Acerca del Llanto?
CONSOLANDO A SU BEBÉ
Algunas veces esto es difícil de escuchar, pero
el llanto es algo que se supone que tu hijo(a) lo
haga! Esta es la forma de decir, “Algo no está
correcto. Necesito que me
ayudes, por favor!”
No hay una forma correcta de consolar a su bebé.
Pero hay un sin número de diferentes estrategias
que trabajan. Considere todas las opciones que
están a su mano, cuando una no trabaja, trate la
próxima! Pregúntele a sus padres o abuelos que
técnicas ellos usaron para calmar el llanto. Esta
misma puede consolar a tu bebé. Con la práctica y
el tiempo, usted puede encontrar que trabaja
mejor para usted y su bebé. Siga tratando!
¿POR QUÉ LOS BEBES
LLORAN?
Hambre es la razón más
común porque los niños lloran,
definitivamente no es la única
razón.
Usualmente, si un recién nacido se le ha dado
leche y ha eructado dentro de una hora y media,
la casualidad es que ella (él) necesitan algo más.
Quizás ella (él) necesita que lo tome en sus
brazos, puede ser que tenga frío o quizás necesita
recordarle que usted está presente para él o ella.
Usted puede pensar que como padre de alguna
manera supuestamente debe conocer
mágicamente cada llanto de su bebé. Así no es.
Ningún padre puede. Por lo menos al principio.
Tanto usted como su bebé, se van conociendo uno
al otro: usted comprenderá sus antojos y sus
llantos. Expertos en el desarrollo del niño están de
acuerdo en: usted no puede mimar a su recién
nacido por solo responder a sus llantos.
Habrá momentos que usted sienta que su bebé
la está tratando de controlar con su llanto. Sin
embargo, científicos ahora saben que no es hasta
más tarde en el primer año de vida cuando el bebé
aprende que ellos tienen el poder para obtener la
conducta en usted en ciertas formas. Para bebés
de seis meses o menores, su respuesta es rápida y
amorosa- tanto como la comida – es un consuelo
para él o ella si es que esta molesta.
¿QUÉ TANTO LLORAN LOS BEBÉ?
Mientras todos los bebés lloran, la cantidad de
llanto depende de cada bebé. Es común para los
bebés llorar un promedio total de una hora al día
durante las primeras semanas de nacido. Esto
puede aumentar tanto como dos horas total al día
cuando el bebé tiene seis semanas. Después de los
ocho semanas, la cantidad puede bajar otra vez a
una hora total al día. Si tu bebé llora más del
promedio, él o ella podrían tener cólicos. Por
supuesto, cinco minutos de llanto se pueden sentir
como una hora si usted solamente tiene un par de
horas que ha dormido! Debe monitorizar cuanto su
bebé llora en un diario. Esta puede ser menos de
lo que parece. Comparta esta información, la
cantidad total de sueño y llanto con el proveedor
de salud de su bebé. Trazando cuanto su bebé
llora puede ser de gran ayuda si usted piensa que
su bebé sufre de cólico.
ACURRUCAR
Acurrucar es otra palabra para envolver
ómodamente a su bebé- como si fuera un burrito!
Mientras esto sea extraño para ustedes, a los
bebés les gusta estar arropados de esta forma,
les es difícil mover los brazos y los pies. Cuando
ellos están en su vientre, ellos no tienen mucho
espacio para moverse. Así que ellos envueltos se
sienten como en su casa.
Así es como usted debe arropar a su bebé:
1. Extienda una cobija grande en una
superficie plana (cobijas que se pueden estirar son
buenas para envolver a su bebé).
2. Halar la esquina de arriba de la cobija
para hacer un triángulo.
3. Acomoda el bebé que su cabeza este
sobre la parte doblada de la cobija.
4. Coloca su brazo al lado de su cuerpo y
dobla la cobija sobre su cuerpo hasta cubrir su
pecho.
5. Inserta la parte restante de la cobija
detrás de su espalda entre su torso y la otra
mano.
6. Toma la parte
triangular de la parte de
debajo de la cobija y
tráela hasta el pecho del
bebé.
7. Halar la parte
restante de la cobija y
cómodamente cubre el
pecho del bebé ubriendo
su otro brazo y arropa la
cobija detrás de él o ella
tan lejos como pueda.
