crying babies
Sobbing little ones
Crying babies are infants who are wailing or weeping—the most common state people associate with newborns.
The phrase often appears in contexts of disturbance or complaint: The flight was miserable with crying babies everywhere.
It can describe any situation involving multiple upset infants, or serve as shorthand for chaos and noise.
