If the child cries every night at bedtime, it could have colic. Colic will normally resolve itself in time. The important thing for the parent to do is be patient.

What response would be most helpful to a human infant who is hungry A feed the infant B rock the infant but give no bottle or breast C pat the infant but give no bottle or breast?

A hungry infant fusses and cries. Studies have shown that "women are more likely than men to feel sympathy when they hear an infant cry, and are more likely to want to care for the infant." The study showed that men tend to just block out the crying and have no response to the infant. A hungry infant needs FED. Keep the infant safe in the crib or in someone's arms while you prepare a bottle, or prepare to nurse the baby. Hungry babies should not be left to cry for long periods; a baby should be fed as soon as possible. There is a huge difference between a fussy non-hungry infant and a crying hungry infant. Infants literally can feel pain from being hungry. On the other hand, a baby who was fed within an hour before crying started is more likely to be having gassy pains from a full belly or difficulty digesting milk. It is critical that parents, especially mothers, learn to distinguish and interpret their babies' types of crying. No baby or child should be denied food as punishment for crying to have their needs met, or to have food withheld because they are messy eaters. Withholding food is child neglect AND abuse and are criminal offenses. No infant should be left to cry until the baby sounds "desperate" or exhausted. If you are nursing and your baby does not nurse well, or still seems hungry soon after nursing, consult your doctor.
