Three fundamental points of reference
Differences that you discover when you calm him down.
1) Calling and crying.
  •     The difference is rarely made, the call is frequent, modulated, more and more vindictive, it corresponds to the request for help impossible to make alone.
  •     Crying has tears. Either great pain, or the emotional overwhelmed by the anguish of abandonment.
  •     Never let the little one cry! It risks schematizing a real worrying, this chimera by fixing itself in its personality in construction, can cause disorders in adulthood.
2) Hunger and appetite
  •     Hunger is a need that awakens and irritates. Healthy, it is imperative, impossible to calm it is that he is hungry.
  •     The appetite is a desire, the smell of mother's milk takes it away, it tastes, it is delicious. He suckles a little and then stops. He is not hungry. But it's very good!
  •     Without this cue, the mother exhausts herself feeding him believing he is hungry.
3) Calls and colic
  •     The infant will have colic because he is genetically determined to double his birth weight in 3 months. He will eat a lot, digest a lot and inevitably have colic digestive spasms.
  •      The calls for help or hunger are progressive, more and more vindictive. The colic is brutal with bending of the trunk and pedalling, it is spasmodic stops then resumes until the evacuation of gas or stools.
