Mothers' perceptions of problems of feeding and crying behaviors. A prospective study.
During early infancy , problems of crying , colic , spitting , and feeding difficulties often provoke anxiety and lack of self-confidence in parents . We studied prospect ively what proportion of mothers felt that their infants had problems of this type and determined risk factors for perceived problems identified in the early postnatal period . The mothers of 189 breast-fed and 184 formula-fed infants completed question naires post partum and responded to a follow-up interview at four months . Thirty-five percent of mothers in each group reported that their infants had moderate or severe problems of feeding or crying behavior . Risk factors for perceived problems were identified using stepwise logistic regression analyses . Inquiry about , and early attention to , risk factors may alleviate the parents ' concerns and possibly affect the development of these problems
