Excessive crying

Excessive crying assesses whether participants feel like their baby cries a lot (yes/no), whether the child cried for more than 3 hours a day during the last week (yes/no), on how many days this occurred, and how many hours a day the baby cried. Excessive crying can be identified as crying for 3 hours per day on 3 days in the preceding week using the Wessel’s criteria.
