Is your baby crying and you just don’t know why? In this episode of the Best for Baby Podcast, Lisa dives deep into the many reasons behind baby crying and what parents can do about it. From hunger and discomfort to the witching hour, you’ll discover how to recognise your baby’s cues and respond with confidence.

We’ll explore:

• The differences between tired, hungry, overstimulated and bored babies
• Why some cries are normal communication and others may signal discomfort or illness
• The witching hour – why it happens and how to help your baby through it
• Practical calming strategies, from swaddling and skin-to-skin contact to soothing movement and white noise
• How to spot the signs of an overtired baby before they spiral into full-on meltdowns

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what to do if a baby is crying, how to keep your little one in a calm-alert state for longer, and when it’s time to seek extra help.
