Infant Crying Patterns in the First Year: Normal Community and Clinical Findings

James‐Roberts, Ian St, Halil, Tony·1991·Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry

Abstract

Abstract– To provide information about persistent infant crying, crying durations and patterns were measured at four age points (1–3, 4–6, 7–9 and 10–12 months) in normal community ( N = 400) and clinical ( N = 68) samples. The findings provide a range of prevalence figures and descriptive statistics which may be useful for parents and professionals faced with infant crying. A large developmental shift in crying amount, and two age‐related changes of crying pattern, were found. Clinical infants showed the same crying profiles as the general community infants, but were found to cry substantially more. Although mothers of first‐borns were more likely to seek clinical referral, there were no birth‐order differences in crying amount or pattern. The findings’implications for studies of infant temperament and development are indicated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
