There is scientific research that says that breastfeeding duration shortens when parents experience their baby as a baby who cries a lot.
There are all kinds of medical reasons why a baby is crying. Crying is a way of communication for a baby. It's a cry for help.
But what if there are no obvious medical reasons for a baby's crying behavior?
This lecture explains sociological and anthropological factors that can influence crying behavior in babies.
Sometimes parents have false expectations about parenting and baby behavior. Sometimes cultural assumptions make parents believe they have a crying baby when they actually haven't. And some cultural or anthropological parameters can strengthen the crying behaviour in a baby. Learn more about normal newborn crying behaviour and how to help parents understand their newborn.
