With all due respect Lorenzo, i just can't let this common misconception
pass without comment. I don't mean this personally. I have no doubt that
your son was very robust.

However, a baby who is crying loudly doea not signify a healthy baby, it
signifies a baby *in distress*, a baby who is likely not having their needs
met in that moment.
It is 100% possible to have a very robust baby that never cries at all,
because s/he is held constantly and nursed on request, the paleo way. In
fact his/her chances for robustness and good health are much greater in this
situation.

warmly,
ingrid
