Unsettled Babies – Help! Why is my Baby Crying?

There are many reasons why babies cry. First and foremost, crying is a newborn’s way of communicating their needs, whether they be hungry, tired or uncomfortable. However, some babies cry more than others! Excessive crying and unsettled babies can be very stressful and anxiety-provoking for parents and can put them at risk of postnatal depression.  As an osteopath and IBCLC, my role is to be somewhat of a detective, putting together all of the pieces of the puzzle to figure out what is going on and how to fix it.
