If babies cry, it could be due to a multitude of reasons. Babies can be conditioned just like any other human being. Lets say, for example, your baby cries and the first thing you do is pick him/her up. Your child is going to associate crying with being picked up. So, even if you think its for no reason, the actual reason is for attention. A Couple Solutions: 1. If you are positive there is no physical reason for a baby to be crying (ex: baby has been fed, burped, changed and in NO discomfort), let the baby cry and break the association. Pretty soon, the baby will realize that crying does not mean he/she gets to be picked up. 2. Determine the association by retracing steps. If you pick the baby up and he/she is still crying, try putting it in its high chair, or try playing with him/her.
