The baby is crying at dusk, what should parents do?

Moms and dads will find a strange phenomenon. 2-3 month old babies usually cry very hard at a fixed time of the day (usually from 5 to 6 in the evening to 8 or 9 in the night), and last a long time (30 minutes to an hour). It can be very hard to coax your child out of crying. This phenomenon is called “crying at dusk”, and its cause still remains unknown. Some people say that this is called growing up crying; while others say that the baby starts to distinguish between day and night. He cries while adapting the difference between day and night.

Although this is a common phenomenon, a mother must feel very distressed when she watch her child crying inconsolably. So, how should you comfort your baby?

Correct judgment of crying at dusk
