Every one of us must have seen babies crying. There is nothing strange or uncommon or for that matter anything wrong about it. The reason being that crying comes naturally to babies and the fact that they cannot speak, they use their cries to communicate to people around them. However, the amount of crying varies in babies. There is an old school of thought which says that crying of the babies should be ignored.

Do you think that only you have a child that bites? Well, you are mistaken, generally children ageing between 1 to 3 years go through a stage of biting other children.

So, it’s important to know how to understand baby’s language.
For babies ageing between 0 to 4 months, sound is the major means of communication. He begins to learn the sound language and conveys what he wants through a sound.
