Recent research by US scientists
showed that a good night’s sleep
improved a couple’s relationship by
making them less selfish.
The academics, from the University
of Berkeley, California, found that
couples who slept well were more
likely to be polite to each other.
So how do I deal with my fussy baby?
As you get to know your baby, you'll
become the expert in understanding
his cries in a way that no one else can.
In their research, child development
professionals have determined that
certain types of cries mean certain
things. In other words, babies don't
cry the same exact way every time.
(Other child development experts, also
known as mothers, have known that
for millennia.)
Over time, you'll recognize particular
cries as if they were spoken words. In
addition to these cry signals, you often
can determine why your baby is crying
by the situation surrounding the cry.
Following are common reasons for
Baby's cry, and the clues that may tell
you what's up:
Hunger
If three or four hours have passed
since his last feeding, if he has just
woken up, or if he has just had a very
full diaper and he begins to cry, he's
probably hungry. A feeding will most
likely stop the crying.
