Upset babies more likely to face problems later

BABIES who persistently cry and those who have difficulties with sleeping or feeding are more likely to develop behavioural problems in later life, a study revealed.

Researchers found that infants who experience those difficulties, known as regulatory disorders, could have an increased chance of experiencing conditions such as ADHD.

Scientists from Warwick University worked with colleagues at the University of Basel, Switzerland, and the University of Bochum, Germany, to analyse 22 studies — carried out between 1987 and 2006 — looking at a possible link between the issues.
