crying baby
Tearful little one
A crying baby is an infant who is wailing or fussing, the archetypal image of helpless distress and urgent need.
The phrase often appears figuratively to describe someone who complains excessively or can't handle minor difficulties: Don't be such a crying baby about losing.
As a compound, it functions like crybaby but emphasizes the infantile quality of the behavior.
