A. It's not uncommon for babies to cry when they wake up, especially if they are uncomfortable or need to relieve themselves. Here are some reasons why your 10-month-old might be crying in the morning until she passes her first urine: Possible Reasons 1. Discomfort: Your baby may feel uncomfortable or full, especially if she hasn't urinated overnight. This can lead to fussiness or crying until she can relieve herself. 2. Hunger: If she wakes up hungry, she may cry until she is fed. Babies often have a strong instinct to communicate their needs, including hunger. 3. Need for Attention: Babies may cry to signal that they want comfort, attention, or to be held after waking up. 4. Sleep Transitions: Babies go through different sleep cycles, and they may cry when transitioning from one stage of sleep to another. This can happen in the morning when they are waking up. What to Do Check Diaper: If she cries, check her diaper to see if she is wet or needs a change. Comforting Routine: Establish a comforting morning routine that can help soothe her after she wakes up, such as gentle rocking, cuddling, or soft talking. Stay Calm: Your calmness can help her feel secure. Try to comfort her as she wakes up and reassure her that everything is okay. When to Consult a Pediatrician Persistent Crying: If this behavior continues or if you notice other concerning symptoms, such as signs of pain, discomfort, or changes in her urination patterns, consult your pediatrician. Dehydration: If she is not urinating as often as expected or shows signs of dehydration (like a dry mouth or fewer wet diapers), seek medical advice. While some morning fussiness can be normal, it's always good to keep an eye on her overall behavior and comfort level. If you're concerned, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for reassurance and guidance.
