Crying in Infants

You have said that your baby does not have vomiting, weakness, fever, or unusual movements, and has been eating normally and having wet diapers. That is reassuring.

Can you comfort your baby by changing his diaper, feeding him, helping him burp and/or holding him?

Yes, I can comfort or console him.

No, I can't comfort him.
