The crying of a newborn baby is usually related to the presence of some physical discomfort or simply as the mechanism it uses to attract attention; However, why does it rouse him, whether in the arms of his mother or another person?

According to an investigation carried out by the Riken Brain Institute, in Japan, This is due to the fact that when loading the infant the nervous system activity and the motor activity are reduced, as well as the heart rate, resulting in calming down.

The specialist Kuroda , leader of the study, indicates that demanding the maternal arms goes beyond a whim of the newborn, is a means of defense, which is present in all mammals.

To reach these results, we examined 12 healthy children between one and six months of age, who were recorded their heart rate when they were lying in the crib and while the mother was carrying them.

By means of an electrocardiogram, differences were discovered between the crib and the arms. The little ones petrified their mother's heat and movement. When his mother sat with the child in her arms, her heart rate accelerated, she cried and kept moving. As soon as he got up and moved, his constant descended immediately and the baby was calmer. However, when sitting down again, the newborn complained again

Newborns feel more comfortable when they are loaded, as movement relaxes them. This research sheds light on a mystery, which may in the future help parents with the care of their children.
