Author: Ronald G. Barr, MDCM, FRCP(C) New parents have wonderful and not so wonderful experiences with their new infants, but crying has got to be one of the most challenging. There are a couple of basic reasons why this is so. First, new parents want and expect a wonderful, mostly smiling, responsive baby. But when the baby cries for five hours, the crying is unsoothable and nothing the parents do seems to help, the disappointment can be profound.
To the Editor The Viewpoint by Lynøe and Eriksson1 about abusive head trauma (AHT) is seriously flawed. The argument that crying does not trigger AHT is based on twisted logic, unsupported assertions, and misrepresented data. Given the biased portrayal of published evidence, we urge readers to evaluate this Viewpoint1 with caution.
