Difficult babies are characterized by being fussy, crying a lot, and having difficulty adapting to new situations. This aligns with the behavior described in the scenario. Easy babies, on the other hand, are generally content and adapt well to change, and slow-to-warm up babies take some time to adjust but eventually do so. Undifferentiated children are not a recognized category of infant temperament.
