Furthermore, it is now clear that all kinds
of crying (i.e. fussing, crying and inconsolable crying) is prolonged, that this prolongation occurs only in the first few months, and that inconsolable crying is almost unique to the first few months
of life.3, 40 The «unpredictability»
of the crying, and
of the caregiver's ability or inability to soothe the infant is most likely due to the facts that (1) the infant cry in the first few months is a reflection
of the organization
of its behavioural states (crying, awake alert, sleeping), rather than an intentional «signal,» 14 (2) that behavioural state changes occur in «steps» rather than due to increases or decreases in arousal7, 41 and (3) infants are resistant to behavioural state change unless they are in a transitional phase in which they are «ready» to change state.7 Finally, there is now good

of other compromise, infants with «colic» have as good an outcome as infants without «colic.»
