PURPLE Crying
Jo 9.8.2010 11:58I wish I had a name to go along with this almost 6 years ago when my twins were babies. One of my daughters cried for hours every day. No matter what I did to try and calm her, nothing worked. I took her to the doctors thinking she was in pain, I called early intervention at 2 months old to have her evaluated, and even considered putting her up for adoption. I thought it was me. I thought it was my fault and that she just couldn't bond with me.
The information you are providing is priceless. I'm so glad parents have a name to put with it and some hope of things getting better because with paitence and self control they really do get better!
Last year in pre-k my daughter was voted most happy go lucky because she always has a smile on her face...who would have thought?!
Thank you for offering information and hope to new parents going through this.

Period of PURPLE Crying Program

PURPLE Implementation
BC PHN 2.3.2009 13:48I think that the DVD/info being given out in the hospital is great! I’ve noticed in my visits that it’s a very easy/non-accusatory way to bring up infant crying during my visits – to refer to the Purple Crying info. It seems to make parents more open to sharing some of their frustrations. They’re talking about already having viewed the DVD, often by the time I’m visiting. So, I have only positive feedback for the program so far.
