Dear all, Nils Bergman gave me a list of interesting articles about crying in neonates. In this and other situations, I have often tried, but usually failed to obtain such articles through the internet for free. I simply have no budget to pay for them; my time on the subject is already spent without being paid for. ;o) A little list below; if you can provide me with pdf's, I will be very happy! Please contact me off list; thanks.
