Abstract

Authors' conclusion: the meta-analyses suggest that children with previous problems with crying, sleeping and/or feeding in infancy have more behavioral problems than controls, particularly in multi-problem families.

Reviewers' commentary: the results of this study could have important clinical implications due to the frequency of problems with crying, sleeping and/or feeding in infancy and the burden that a child with behavioural problems / ADHD implies for the family, the society and the health care system. However, the results of this review should be interpreted with caution due to its methodological limitations and the fact that the children of multi-problem families (a recognized behavioural risk factor) had the worst outcomes.
