How to tell the sound of an infant's cry?

14. 怎么样分辨婴儿的哭声?

婴儿除了用喃喃自语来与成人沟通外,也用哭来引起别人的注意和反应,当婴儿哭时不需要每次都抱他,但合时作出适当的反应会帮助婴儿增加安全感和减少哭。哭除了一般的原因,包括饥饿、口渴、大小便、胀气、疲倦外,还会因为太冷太热、无聊、过度兴奋、疼痛或生病,我们不会知道所有婴儿不舒服的原因,但一般作出适当的反应,婴儿就会慢慢好起来。

Besides through muttering, a baby will use the sound his crying to communicate with his parents. Parents do not need to hold the baby in arms whenever the baby cries; instead, respond to the crying properly and timely will enhance baby's feeling of safety and minimize the crying. The common reason for crying include feeling hungry or thirsty, having desire to pee or poop, getting tired; sometimes the room temperature, or baby's emotion (feeling bored or excessively excited), feeling pain or falling ill will cause baby to cry. It is even hard for an expert to tell what exactly the reason just by hearing the sound of baby's crying; however, parents can choose to try out things through reasoning (e.g. If there is a schedule to feed the baby some milk at 9:00am, but parents have not feed the baby till 9:15am, the crying should remind parents to feed baby on time). With a proper respond to baby's need, baby will soon cease crying.
