Erik Erikson believed that the first stage of psychosocial development is trust versus mistrust, which occurs from birth to one year of age. A primary task during this stage is for the infant to develop a sense of trust in their caregivers. Soothing a crying infant communicates to the infant that their needs will be met, which promotes a healthy sense of trust. Therefore, the most likely recommendation by Erikson would be to pick up the baby and soothe him/her.
