Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The basic cry of an infant who is hungry typically starts with a whimper and evolves into a pattern of crying, silence, and breathing, which is a way for the infant to catch their breath and signal their needs without becoming too exhausted. This pattern is distinct from cries indicating other types of distress, which may have different characteristics in terms of intensity, rhythm, and onset.
