How can I tell why my baby is crying?
I can't figure out why she's crying. What should I do?

Babies cry. There's no way to avoid it it's one way they communicate. Since your baby can't flat out tell you, you may worry, "How will I know what she wants?" It can be difficult at first, but a large part of parenting is trial and error and you'll soon learn to anticipate her needs, read her cues, and wipe away her tears.
