    They are faking. They are just frustrated and screaming but not crying.

    because it takes a while for the tear ducts to start working

    The term “cry baby” is a bit of a misnomer, at least for the first weeks of life. Although newborns are physiologically able to produce tears, they almost always cry without them. No one knows exactly why this is, though some suggest immature neural wiring or that newborns simply don’t have the emotional intensity necessary to elicit tears. (And, of course, they haven’t seen Bambi yet.)

    Babies are born with basal tearing, meaning their tear ducts deliver just enough wet stuff to keep the eyes moist and healthy, and reflex tearing, the kind you get when slicing an onion or battling with a stray eyelash. Newborns do not have psychic tearing (tearing that indicates emotional distress).

    It’s between 2 and 4 months of age that a baby’s psychic tears kick in. A trigger — loneliness, frustration — causes the baby’s nervous system to stimulate a cranial nerve in the brain, and that in turn sends a message to the tear glands.

    Be warned: A baby’s dry-eyed wail is one thing, but add a little water to that puckered-up face and there won’t be a dry eye in the house.

    new borns dont cry for emotional reasons and thats the kind of crying tears are associated with, its more like its the only noise they can make when they need attention so thats why they do it.

  7. 1stTimeMommy says:

    they just want some attention but dont know how to express that.

    The tear ducts aren’t full developed yet. But wait until they go for their injections. My daughter cried her first tears at her 6 and 10 week injections, it is heart breaking.

    why arent there tears?
    because he or she is throwing a fit, or a temper tantrum about something not going how they might prefer it lol

    The crying of baby is just a basic instinctive communication. Generally, the main reason that most babies cry is to try to express a variety of feeling including hunger, discomfort, overstimulation, boredom, or loneliness. So, there is no tear.
