Mothers and adults should there fore take time to burp their babies when they are through with feeding them or in between the feeding process. Unlike adults baby cannot take care of their waste, this is because they are unable to move or to use some of the various toilet facilities, therefore they do wet themselves  and cry to communicate with the adults that they need their assistance in cleaning their waste from their soiled diapers. Gas or indigestion may also cause high levels of discomfort which also cause crying.

When babies get tired they may have sleeping problems, they often need more sleep and rest at times babies are know to sleep more than 16 hours per day, and often need more rest , often when young ones feel tired they will cry to communicate that so that she or he attracts attention from the care takes.
