Premature infants often cry due to reasons such as hunger or environmental discomfort. Because premature babies usually consume smaller amounts per feeding and may have poor absorption, they can become hungry more quickly, leading to frequent crying. In addition, it is important to check whether the ambient temperature and humidity are appropriate, and whether their clothing is dry, soft, and loose. If the environment makes the premature infant uncomfortable, this can also lead to persistent crying.
