Both hands make an "X" handshape, a fist with the index finger slightly extended, but bent. With each hand run the tip of the index finger down the respective side of the face from under the eye down toward the jaw. The hands can be drawn down at the same time or in an alternating pattern. The faster the hand motion the heavier the crying.
Sign 'BABY', then use the 'X' handshapes tracing down your cheeks to sign 'CRY'. Use a continuous, alternating motion to show the baby is actively and continuously crying.
Sign 'PLEASE', then 'DON'T', followed by the sign for 'CRY'. Keep the movement of the 'X' fingers down your face gentle and slow, matching the comforting tone of the sentence.
To show heavy crying, sign 'CRY' by moving the 'X' handshapes down your face much faster and repeatedly. Make sure to include a sad facial expression to match the intensity.

Yes, you can use just your dominant hand to sign 'cry' if you are holding something or signing casually. However, using both hands is the standard way to show someone is crying.
You can change the intensity of the sign by moving your 'X' handshapes down your face much faster and repeating the motion several times. Pair this with a highly exaggerated, sad facial expression.
No, both ways are perfectly correct! You can draw both 'X' handshapes down your cheeks simultaneously, or alternate them one after the other. Alternating often emphasizes continuous, ongoing crying.
