Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı 0-4 aylık sağlıklı bebeklerin ağlama davranışlarını, ailelerin ağlayan bebeğe yaklaşımlarını ve bebeklerini sarsma durumlarını belirlemektir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışmaya 0-4 aylık 242 sağlıklı bebek ve 225 anne alındı. Otuz beş sorudan oluşan bir anket formu yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile uygulandı. Anket formu ailelerin sosyodemografik özelliklerini, bebeklerin ağlama nedenlerini, bebeklerin ağlama davranışlarını, ailelerin bu durumla başa çıkma yöntemlerini ve tepkilerini, ailelerin bebeklerini sarsıp sarsmadıklarını belirlemeye yönelik sorulardan oluşmaktaydı. İstatistiksel analizlerde Ki kare, Mann Whitney U ve Kruskall Wallis Varyans analizleri kullanıldı.Bulgular: Annelerin %55.6’sı bebeklerinin sıkça ağladığını düşünüyordu. Annelere göre bebeklerin ağlama nedenleri arasında bebeğin aç olması ilk sırada yer alıyordu. Bebeklerin gün içinde toplam ağlama süreleri ortanca 60 dakika (minmaks= 30-720 dakika) olarak bildirildi. Cinsiyet, doğum haftası, anne sütü ile beslenme durumu ve bebeklerin aylarına göre ağlama süreleri arasında fark saptanmadı. Bebeklerin %21.6’sının günde üç saat ve üzerinde ağladığı, %7.9’unun üç haftadan uzun süredir, haftada üç günden fazla tekrarlayan ve günde üç saatten uzun süren ağlamaları olduğu bildirildi. Annelerin bebekleri ağladığında en sık kullandıklarını üç yatıştırma yöntemi kucağa alma, emzirme ve sallama olarak belirtildi. Eğitim süresi sekiz yıl ve daha az olan annelerin %25.9, sekiz yıldan fazla olan annelerin %13.3’ü bebeklerin ağlamasını zararlı bulduğunu bildirdi (p=0.027). Annelerin %26.2’si bebekleri çok ağladığında sinirlendiğini ifade etti. Üç anne bebeği çok ağladığında susturmak için birkaç kez sarsıp/tokatladığını belirtti.Sonuç: Anne ve babaların, özellikle de eğitim düzeyi düşük annelerin ve bebeği ağladığında sinirlenen annelerin, yenidoğan döneminden itibaren bebeklerin nörogelişimsel özellikleri, ağlama davranışları ve uygun yatıştırma yöntemleri ile ilgili bilgilendirilmeleri önemlidir.
