Abstract

We assessed risk groups for excessive infant crying using 10 published definitions, in 3179 children aged 1-6 months (response: 96.5%). Risk groups regarding parental employment, living area, lifestyle, and obstetric history varied by definition. This may explain the existence of conflicting evidence on the occurrence and cause of excessive crying.

  • Unaddressed parental sleep disruption can lead to negative outcomes for infants such as being medicated, medicalised, punished and abused.

    “Furthermore, unaddressed parental sleep disruption can lead to negative outcomes for infants such as being medicated [11], medicalised [12], punished and abused [13].”

    From Development and evaluation of ‘Sleep, Baby & You’—An approach to supporting parental well-being and responsive infant caregiving (2020) · cites this paper as [13]

    Citation [12] is attached specifically to the claim that infants may be medicalised. The Introduction discusses excessive crying and its possible negative effects on parental feelings, while the Methods and Results examine definitions and risk groups; none of these passages links parental sleep disruption to medicalisation. Searches for medicalisation and sleep disruption found no supporting passage in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.74)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Several trials have tested the effectiveness of educational interventions (based on sleep hygiene, self-settling, and the use of routines) alone or in combination with other psychological approaches.

    “Although several trials have tested the effectiveness of educational interventions (based on sleep hygiene, self-settling, and the use of routines) alone or in combination with other psychological approaches [13,23–25]”

    From Development and evaluation of ‘Sleep, Baby & You’—An approach to supporting parental well-being and responsive infant caregiving (2020) · cites this paper as [13]

    The Methods section describes interviews with parents and an analysis of definitions and risk indicators for excessive infant crying, not trials of educational interventions. A search for sleep hygiene, self-settling, routines, and intervention trials found no passage in our copy addressing the attributed claim. The References list mentions a treatment review but does not report the claimed trials. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
