On average, newborn babies cry three hours a day. Babies cry because they may be hungry, cold, wet, or too warm. They just may need to suck, or be cuddled, or they simply may be expressing themselves. You can not spoil an infant less than 4 months of age so do not be afraid to hold and comfort them.
If your baby’s cry seems different, you can not seem to comfort him or her, or the baby seems to be in pain, take a rectal temperature and call the pediatrician’s office.
