Yes, it\u2019s very common for newborns to cry frequently. Crying is their main way to communicate needs like hunger, pain, tiredness, or discomfort. Many babies fuss more in the evenings, a phase often called the \u201cwitching hour.\u201d Still, if you notice unusual symptoms like fever or trouble breathing alongside the crying, it\u2019s wise to check in with your doctor.<\/p>\n
