Inform the parents that infants cry when they are hungry, need to be burped,
are overstimulated, wet, cold, hot, tired, or bored. Assure the mother that
in time, she will learn what her infant’s cry means. The mother should be
instructed not to feed the infant every time it cries. Overfeeding can lead to
