IT seems that we Brits have some of the biggest baby bawlers.

The Daily Mirror reports that according to a study carried out at Warwick University, along with infants in Canada, Italy and Netherlands, British babies out-cry all other countries while toddlers in Denmark, Germany and Japan have the fewest tears and tantrums.  

The university says it has formulated the first universal chart for normal amounts of crying in the first three months - babies wail around two hours a day on average in that time

Highest levels of colic – crying more than three hours a day for at least three days a week – were found in the UK (28% of infants at 1-2 weeks), Canada (34% at 3-4 weeks) and Italy (21% at 8-9 weeks).
