It’s here - #ICONweek2024 has officially begun! 🎉 Just a reminder: all babies are different and all babies cry and you can get through it. 👶 Crying often increases around 2 weeks and peaks at 6 weeks, but remember, this phase will pass. iconcope.org/iconweek2024

Parents/carers, we know it can be tough coping with a baby that cries a lot. It can feel exhausting & lonely. Remember to support each other, you're not alone. Crying is normal, you're not a bad parent or carer. ICON helps manage those overwhelming moments #ICONweek2024

As part of ICON week a reminder we have a free ICON e-learning course for professionals. To access it please go to ICON E-Learning: Understanding Coping with a Crying Baby and Preventing Abusive Head Trauma - Plymouth Safeguarding Children Partnership (plymouthscb.co.uk)

Abusive head trauma can happen anywhere when a parent or carer is pushed to the edge by infant crying. Friends & family, remember to check on parents with babies to see how they’re coping. The ICON website shares how you can support them: iconcope.org/parentsadvice/

Parents/carers, there are many ways to help soothe your baby. 💖 If you’re finding it hard to cope, it’s okay to step away for a few minutes as long as the baby is safe, until you feel calm. The most important thing is to stay calm & never hurt or shake your baby

It’s tough when a baby won’t stop crying. You might worry something is wrong, fear losing your cool, or doubt your parenting skills—but you can handle it! Take a break./Ask for help/ For more tips, iconcope.org/advicefor/pare…
