Sometimes, babies cry for literally no reason. There are so many babies who cry uncontrollably for no discernable reason that the medical establishment coined the term "colic." There's a big difference between a baby who is genuinely colic and one who hasn't had their needs tended to. The baby in this story is the latter.
If a baby is crying, you can't always tend to their needs immediately, like if you're driving and they're in the backseat. But if they're sitting in their playpen, crib, or highchair and you don't offer them food, a pacifier, or physical comfort, you're not doing the bare minimum to solve their crying. A mom recently took to Reddit to share the argument she had with her husband. While she was in the shower, she heard her baby uncontrollably sobbing for 15 minutes, and when she got out to see what was wrong, things unraveled from there.
