Up to 20% of parents report a problem with their infant crying in the first 3 months of life. The majority of babies have no organic cause of crying and most crying subsides by 3-4 months.
This article describes the management of persistent crying in the first 3 months of life.
Management includes exclusion of medical causes and ensuring the baby is adequately rested and fed. Unexplained episodes of crying can be managed by: carrying the baby, going for a walk with baby in the pram, giving baby a deep, warm bath, or playing white noise or environmental sounds to distract the baby from crying. Postnatal depression is common in mothers of crying babies and should be actively screened for and appropriate clinical help offered if required. All families benefit from support including a review appointment and practical help around the home where possible.
高达20%的家长报告称其婴儿在出生后的前3个月存在哭闹问题。大多数婴儿哭闹并无器质性原因，且大多数哭闹在3至4个月时会平息。
本文描述了出生后前3个月持续性哭闹的处理方法。
处理方法包括排除医学原因，并确保婴儿得到充足休息和喂养。不明原因的哭闹发作可通过以下方式处理：抱着婴儿、推着婴儿车出去散步、给婴儿洗个热水澡，或播放白噪音或环境声音以分散婴儿的注意力使其停止哭闹。产后抑郁在哭闹婴儿的母亲中很常见，应积极进行筛查，如有需要应提供适当的临床帮助。所有家庭都能从支持中受益，包括复诊预约以及尽可能提供的家庭实际帮助。
