The trouble is, every parent and baby is different and so normal can be hard to define.
How to calm a crying baby in 5 seconds
A 2017 review of studies from around the world found:
- On average, babies cry for around two hours a day in the first six weeks.
- Crying decreases from eight to nine weeks to around one hour at 10 to 12 weeks.
- Danish and Japanese babies cry significantly less than babies in the UK.
(Wolke et al, 2017)
Some babies cry very little for the first two weeks of their lives because they are still sleepy and adapting to life outside the womb. As they start to become more awake and alert, they might start to cry more, letting you know what they need.
Is this really normal?
If you feel like your baby cries a lot, for a long time, and you find it hard to soothe them, you’re far from alone.
In fact, between two in ten and five in ten babies cry for long stretches, without an obvious reason, during the first three to four months (Wolke et al, 2017).
Long stretches of crying can start when your little one is around two weeks old and continue until they reach three to four months
