Your Baby Isn’t Crying to Annoy You — Here’s the Real Reason

When your baby cries, it’s not manipulation. It’s language.

The first few months are full of tiny mysteries — a different cry for hunger, another for tiredness, and one that simply means please, hold me.

It’s their only way to connect.
And when you respond — even if you don’t know exactly what’s wrong — you’re building the first bridge of trust.

Science calls it secure attachment: when a baby learns that someone always comes back, their brain wires itself for safety and emotional balance.

So next time you hear those tears, try to listen like a translator, not a fixer.
Each cry says: I need you. And your answer says: I’m here.
