There were times when my baby's crying changed between one and two months old, making me wonder, "Is everything alright?"
I will be writing about that experience.

・Is this kind of crying okay?
→Honestly, my child, who cries quite a lot, cried with such intensity and loud volume that I asked the hospital doctor about it during the 1-month checkup. They replied, "Crying loudly is a sign of good health." That alone instantly eased my mind.
→If your baby is crying with less energy than usual, it could be a sign of illness, so take their temperature and, if necessary, go to the hospital.
→As the days go by, the variety of cries increases, so checking if they are "crying with a strong voice" and "energetically flailing their arms and legs" can help you determine if they are feeling well or not.
・How to interpret crying
→Honestly, at first, I found it stressful, lol.
However, because of the crying,
① I can tell when they are hungry
② I can tell when they are sleepy
③ I can tell when it's time for a diaper change
④ I can tell when they want to be held
I started to change when I got into the habit of interpreting crying as their way of expressing themselves because they can't speak. Slowly but surely, I've felt less stressed.
※There are times when I still feel a bit stressed, especially when I'm busy or working.
Please cherish every moment of this joyful, precious, and fleeting one-year baby period.
See you then.
