I've recently become a new father to a perky baby boy and have some questions
for you more experienced parents. First of all my little guy seems to cry more
than I think is the norm, if there is a norm for this type of beahaviour.
My wife is nursing so we really don't know how much he is eating so the first
course of action is trying to feed him. He's 3 weeks old and has gained about
1.5 lbs since coming home from the hospital. I would guess that this increase inweight is good indication that he is not crying due to hunger. Diaper changes   seem to invoke a his crying as does bath time. We've also been wondering why hiscord has not fallen off since every book we read mentions that this should occurat about 10-14 days.

We have called the pediatrician a couple times and he has assured us that this  is pretty normal behaviour. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

As most of you can guess, this is our first child.

Thanks in advance.
