Baby Tears!

December 18th, 2006

Babies cry for many reasons.  They may be tired, uncomfortable, bored or hungry.  So how do new moms tell the difference?  If your new infant sheds no tears this probably means your baby’s trying to tell you something, but that they are most likely not in distress.

Newborns don’t shed tears because their tear ducts haven’t fully formed.  But after about a month and their tear ducts have a chance to develop, they will cry for various reasons.

Soon you will be able to tell why your new little one is crying and what to do to help them.  If your child is dry and fed then maybe your baby just needs some stimulation.  A colorful Baby Velour Playmat with four colorful faces will give your baby a visual friendly environment to lay down with.  This well keep your baby happy and eyes busy for awhile.  There is also the Baby Crawl Mat with colorful sounds and lights that will surely get your babies attention.

In some cases, tearless crying can be a sign of something more serious, like dehydration.  So, make sure your giving your baby enough fluids.  If the problem persists, your child’s tear ducts may be blocked and you might want to gently massage the inside corners of your baby’s eyes.
