If you have called your baby Adelaide, or you are thinking of doing this then it is important to attend to the baby's needs. It is easier to avoid an aversive stimulus than to stop it. Infant crying could be counterproductive. If your baby cries are intended to create 'sympathetic distress,' in which an adult listening experiences an involuntary, intense emotional response. This creates feelings of empathy, which can lead to care and cuddle your baby. If you are finding that Adelaide does cry then spiritually healing the baby with white light is important.
