What is the Period of
PURPLE Crying?

The Period of PURPLE Crying® is the phrase used to describe the time in a baby's life when they cry more than any other time.

Sleeping

Infants who cry a lot, or are awake and fussy at night are a source of concern for many parents. This section will help parents with infant sleeping problems and questions.

Soothing

Because of the normal increase in crying that occurs in the first months of your baby’s life, parents and caregivers usually have questions.

Crying

New parents have wonderful and not so wonderful experiences with their new infants, but crying has got to be one of the most challenging.

Protecting

Listening to your baby cry can be heart-wrenching. We are brought up to feel not just responsible for our children, but also to relate to their emotions.

For Dads

Often fathers would feel much better if they could just "fix" a problem. They are used to figuring things out and reading a manual and then they seem to be able to successfully fix the situation.
