The crying infant

It’s 2am, the evening team are long gone and the department is just starting to look under control. A new patient appears, Sam is 6weeks old and presents with his exhausted parents, their chief complaint is that he ‘just won’t stop crying’.

When it comes to crying in babies, what is normal? How do we pick those that need further investigation and management? How can we reassure anxious and exhausted parents? 

In this great talk from Don’t Forget the Bubbles 2018, Katie Tinning answers all these questions whilst reminding us that sometimes all our patients and their parents need is our time, a friendly face and a listening ear.
