Here's what happens to your baby if you let him cry all the time

Many parents are convinced that letting a baby cry incessantly does not harm him and may even help him find his peace again and feel sleepy later.

Crying for a long time can have physical consequences and psychological effects on the child. In fact, when a newborn cries, he wants to communicate something to his parents, such as: he is hungry, he feels pain, he needs company, etc.

When these signals are not picked up by those around them, the child's body ends up being flooded with stress hormones and, in the long run, this can damage the central nervous system, negatively affecting growth and learning ability.

Dr. Karl Heinrich Brisch, chief medical officer, explains that newborns cry when left to cry by their parents as they simulate death and begin to fear it.

Consequences in adulthood

Children left to cry may remain traumatized for life as the parents' failure to intervene, which will later be perceived as indifference on the part of the little ones.

Consequences in adulthood include: insomnia, anxiety, addiction problems and depressive symptoms.

How should you behave when a newborn cries?

Some studies have also shown that children who were more cared for and pampered during the first months of life, without being left alone for a long time, had a better life compared to other children. So you should listen to your instincts and immediately run to your baby when she starts crying. The expression "let him cry his lungs out" does not exist.
