Babies express many different cries which "...numerous studies have proven are differentiated at birth, in time actually become indistinguishable" when parents rush in and don't listen and learn how to distinguish different cries. "When a baby is not responded to at all or if every cry is 'answered' with food, Baby learns that it doesn't matter how she cries-it always results with the same outcome. Eventually, she gives up and all her cries will sound the same." Secrets of the Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hogg with Melinda Blau
But what do you say?
I know the difference in my little ones cries. I know when she's tired, hungry or she hurts. She's such a drama queen... so she has this "cry" when she doesn't get her own way... kicks her head back and has her little temper tandrum. No tears tho.
