7 Hilarious Reasons Why Babies Cry

Written by
Last Updated on

Babies have a mind of their own. They cry and laugh at the most unexpected things. It might be a cardboard box or cushion cover, but babies will laugh and/or cry at the most random of things. Being a parent of a baby, you learn when your baby cries. It’s usually when they are hungry, cranky, sleepy, or need a nappy change. Just when you learn your baby’s crying patterns, they surprise you by crying at the most random things. Or sometimes for no reason at all. You might feel like a bad parent because you fail to understand why your baby is crying. But the truth is that babies cry for no reason or for some of the most hysterical reasons. Here are 7 hilarious reasons why babies cry:

1. Because You Hug Them

Babies love attention. They love being hugged and carried around, but they can burst into tears when you do sometimes. And other times, they cry when you don’t hug them. They are indecisive, and there is no way to know.

2. Because Why Not

Babies cry because they can. Perhaps they are bored or simply feel like it. One moment your baby is crying, and the next moment they are laughing or quiet like nothing happened. This happens too often, and it leaves you wondering why. Relatable?

3. Because Their Toy Fell Out Of Their Hands

They love toys. Ones that make noise catch their attention, and babies often love to play with them. They grip them tight and move them around frantically until it falls from their hand. All they have to do is pick it up, but what do they do instead? They cry. Why not just pick it up, dear babies?

4. Because They Don’t Want To Wear Clothes

It’s like there is no winning with babies. Sometimes they cry when you are trying to take their clothes off and sometimes because they don’t want to put them on. But mostly they like to stay in their birthday clothes. Geddit?

5. Because They Think You’re Lost

You would have just stepped into the bathroom for a shower, but your baby assumes you’ve been kidnapped because they haven’t seen you in 60 seconds! Is this adorable or just plain funny?

6. Because You Feed Them

Fussy eaters are the worst. Parents struggle with feeding their babies and try every trick in the book to make that easy for them. But what do babies do? They cry. Not only because they don’t want to eat what they are being fed but because they want to eat the food by themselves.

7. Because You Get Them Ready For A Bath

Some babies love baths. They love the water, soap, and the toys that they get to play with while becoming clean. But sometimes, they like being dirty. Especially when it’s muck or mud. You know exactly what we are talking about, parents! Babies will cry because they don’t want a bath but will happily remain dirty. We don’t understand this sorcery, do you?

While some of the reasons babies cry are beyond our understanding and simply hilarious, you must eliminate any reason for worry. The first few months after your baby is born are the crucial months where your baby cries for reasons like hunger, uncomfort, pain in the stomach, dirty diapers, and whatnot.

You might take some time to understand what each cry means and might become tense or anxious. Don’t worry because this is normal. Trust yourself and allow yourself to learn. You will slowly begin to understand what your baby needs with every cry, and it becomes easier. However, if you suspect any other issues, consult a medical professional immediately to check your baby. If you know that there is nothing to worry about, relax, and enjoy these tiny moments of laughter because they will go by too quickly. What are some of the silliest reasons why your baby cries?
