Shakespeare used the verb "to stint" various times, always in the sense of "to reduce in intensity." So basically it meant almost the same then as it does now, which is "To restrict or limit, as in amount or number; be sparing with"
So when the Nurse said the infant Juliet was crying and then "stinted" she means that Juliet stopped crying so loudly.
