Parents’ experiences of having an excessively crying baby and implications for enhancing support services

Evidence suggests that around 20% of healthy babies cry for long periods without apparent reason, causing significant distress to parents and a range of adverse outcomes. This study explored parents' experiences of having an excessively crying baby and their suggestions for improved NHS support. Focus groups and interviews with 20 parents identified three key themes: disrupted expectations and experiences of parenthood; stigma and social isolation; seeking support and validation of experience. Parents experienced shock, anxiety and a sense of failure, leading to self-imposed isolation and a reluctance to seek help. Other people's reactions sometimes reinforced their feelings. Parents need more support, including from health professionals, to cope with excessive crying, and recommendations for this support are given

Stapelbare Hochtemperaturbrennstoffzelle

DE 10342691 A UPAB: 20050506 NOVELTY - A stackable high-temperature fuel cell comprises an electrode unit with anode (3) at the fuel inlet and cathode (2) at the oxidant inlet with the cathode connected to an interconnection (5,8) by at least one sprung elastic contact. Pressure contacts (6) in the region of the cathode and interconnection are formed of electrically conductive ceramic. USE - As a stackable high-temperature fuel cell (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The contacts are chemically and mechanically stable at 800oC under oxidizing conditions and give a sufficiently high electrical conductivity
