Llanto excesivo en bebés de 0 a 6 meses

Definición:

El llanto o irritabilidad excesiva en bebés de hasta 6 meses de edad se refiere a un bebé que llora con mucha frecuencia o que llora mucho.

Nombres alternativos:

Llanto excesivo; bebés de 0 a 6 meses

Consideraciones generales:

Los bebés normalmente lloran de 1 a 3 horas diarias, lo que es perfectamente normal cuando desean comunicar que sienten hambre, sed, incomodidad, cansancio o soledad y es también normal que tengan un período de irritabilidad durante la noche.

Sin embargo, el llanto excesivo puede sugerir la presencia de un trastorno que requiere tratamiento.
