Abstract
Crying is a baby's primary way to communicate. A baby's cry just for a short while may not be a concern or bothersome for the mother or others. Long episodes of crying lead to sleepless nights for parents, and it also doubles the risk of mothers suffering from feelings of depression. This can be prevented by counseling parents on how and how not to respond to infant crying. Hunger, soiled diaper, pain, Sleepiness, wanting to be held, tiredness, colicky abdomen, unpleasant weather, teething, feeling unwell, overstimulation are some of the reasons often babies cry. It is essential that especially first time mothers be aware of the reasons of baby's cry and simple remedial measures to soothen them. In an attempt to quieting the crying babies, these babies are shaken violently which may cause severe damage to the baby's brain resulting in Shaken baby Syndrome. Parents and baby sitters must be aware of the danger in shaking the babies vigorously.
