New parents often struggle to soothe crying babies, but their efforts often come to nothing. Grandparents and parents start to believe that babies' endless crying is "just colic," a common childhood ailment over which they have no control and can only wait for it to disappear automatically after four months. It turns out that our explanations for infant crying are based on myths and misunderstandings that have persisted for centuries. Once we realize this, the age-old mystery—why babies cry and how to make them smile—suddenly becomes crystal clear.
