Do babies from the United States cry more then babies in other parts of the world? In the Cracked article _5 Universal Experiences That Are Different In Other Cultures_ the third claim made is that > American Babies Cry Way More Than Other Babies I would like to know if the claim is literally true, that American (United States to be exact) babies cry significantly more then babies of all other cultures. If that is not true then is it true that babies from the United states cry more then children from any or all of culture/locations explicitly called out in the article, specifically Sioux, Kenya, Mexico, and South Korea?

According to THE CRYING PATTERN OF KOREAN INFANTS AND RELATED FACTORS _Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology_, volume 36, pages 565–658 (July 1994):

> Compared with Western studies, the duration of crying of Korean infants was shorter and the time of holding and/or close contact with mothers longer, and colic was not found in this study.
