Abstract
Objective: Investigate therapeutic methods that the nursing staff may recommend for parents and families in order to minimize excessive crying in infants. Methods: Integrative review, carried out in March 2020, produced from the PICOS strategy, on the Virtual Health Library (VHL), International Literature on Health Sciences (PUBMED) and Cochrane platforms, through the inclusion of articles available online and free, which portray the current theme, in English and Portuguese, published between 2016 and 2020. Results: 180 articles were found in the databases, 120 were excluded after applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 60 were selected to be read in full and, in the end, 11 articles were included in this review. Final considerations: Acupuncture, chiropractic care and therapeutic massage stood out in the surveys, although the analyzed studies did not always reach similar results. Massage was recommended, although parenteral counseling is the most viable way to console crying and alleviate colic in the infant.
