Why Do Babies Cry?

Abstract

Abstract

Excessive crying, commonly described as infantile colic, is the cause of 10-20%of hospital admission in infants at 2 weeks to 3 months of age. It is often associated with parental stress and exhaustion, although it is a harmless condition. An organic pathology is present only in less than 5% of these babies. Treatment is usually aimed at helping parents overcome this period comfortably rather than curingcolic. In this review, the current knowledge about diagnosis, etiology, and different treatment regimens was reviewed in excessive crying infants.

Çoğunlukla infantil kolik olarak tanımlanan aşırı ağlama, 2 hafta-3 ay arası bebeklerde hastaneye başvurunun % 10-20’sinin nedenidir. Genellikle zararsız bir durum olmasına rağmen, ebeveyn stresi ve tükenmesi ile ilişkilidir. Organik bir patoloji bu bebeklerin % 5'inden azında bulunur. Tedavi genellikle koliki iyileştirmekten ziyade ebeveynlerin bu dönemi rahat atlatmalarına yöneliktir. Bu derlemede, aşırı ağlayan bebeklerde tanı, etiyoloji ve farklı tedavi rejimleri ile ilgili en güncel bilgiler gözden geçirilmiştir.
