I'm a new mom and I need to find out what I should do when my child starts crying.

When your child is crying, the first thing you can do is try to comfort them. You can hold them close, talk softly to them, or even sing a soothing song. If they are still upset after that, it might be helpful to offer them something to distract them from their feelings, like a toy or a snack. Finally, if your child continues to cry for an extended period of time, you may want to consult with a pediatrician or other healthcare provider to make sure there isn't anything more serious going on.
