Question

​Barbara is preparing a cup of coffee in her kitchen, when she hears her newborn daughter crying from the other room. The cry is marked by a sudden long burst of noise, followed by a long pause and gasping. Barbara’s daughter is making the ____ cry.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be, Pain Cry.

Explanation:

New born usually cry a lot. They have different patterns of crying which make the mother aware of which problem baby is crying of.  The cry can be the basic cry, the pain cry, the hunger cry, the mad cry, etc. All these have different patterns of cry.

As explained in this question, when a baby begins to cry with a sudden long burst of noise, followed by a long pause and gasping, it is usually the pain cry. When the baby has some pain in any part of the body, either in stomach, or ear, or leg, or arm, or head, etc, he starts to cry suddenly with a long burst of noise, which is followed by a long pause and gasping.

Every mother should try to learn these crying patterns of babies so that they know why baby is crying this time.
