Causes of crying: The exact cause of persistent crying is not clear, since 7 weeks old babies cannot talk, the only way your child has to communicate with you is crying, there may be several reasons for crying all the time: being hungry, overheated or too cold, may want to be held and feel reassurance and comfort but also could be in pain like due to a colic and would be good a check up to see if everything is ok.
