Hey guys,

I've actually started a topic on working out baby's crying HERE as at first it can be so daunting to work out, that you can just have a mind blank or panic. So I have created a list which is great to think through during crying spells - stick it on your fridge even to help during times where you just can't think!

It wont be long and you'll soon work out baby's different cries and what they mean. They often have different tones and pitches for different needs. I can tell when Elijah has a hungry cry, as opposed to a tired cry, bored whine etc.

In the early days, they mostly like to sleep and eat - so you can pretty much take a good guess at what to try there Usually cries of pain are more high pitched, you hopefully wont hear many of these, but you can often distinuguish them very well. It's easier when you are used to their cry though, and some just cry more than others.

Regardless, you'll all do a great job I'm sure of it
