Abstract

KENNY, Patricio. Excessive crying in infants in the first months of life: Review. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2016, vol.114, n.4, pp.368-374. ISSN 0325-0075.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2016.368.

Cry-fuss problems are among the most common clinical presentations in the first few months of life. Cry-fuss behaviour emerges out of a complex interplay of cultural, psychosocial, environmental and biologic factors, with organic disturbance implicated in only 5% of cases. A holistic biopsychosocial approach can be most effective. This article reviews recent evidence to update clinical management, and will attempt to reconceptualize infant colic definition.
