voice or shouted at my infant when he was particularly fussy; 3, When my infant
cries, he gets on my nerves; 4, I have spanked my infant when he was particularly fussy; 5, I have lost my temper when my infant was particularly fussy; 6, I have left my infant alone in his bedroom when he was particularly fussy; and 7, I have shaken my infant when he was particularly fussy.
