Troublesome crying in infants: the effect of advice to reduce stimulation

The observation that babies with troublesome crying improve quickly during hospital admission suggested that, if true, a common, quickly reversible, factor may operate. Histories from the parents of such babies suggest that much work goes into trying to console them. It is hypothesised that this may lead to excessive/inappropriate stimulation and the improvement seen in hospital reflects a reduction/change in stimulation.
