Your friend olga is a new first-time mother. her 6-week-old infant has shown a recent increase in crying. she doesn't know whether this is because she is picking the child up every time that it cries. she is asking you for advice. what would you say to her?

I would say to her that, it is typical for crying to increment over the first six weeks of life, and lifting her child up won't strengthen the crying. Research has demonstrated that provoke thoughtfulness regarding a crying infant during the initial 3 months really prompts less crying later in early stages.
