  • Caring for a Crying Baby: Managing Stress and Building Confidence

    Caring for an infant who cries a lot or has periods of inconsolable crying can be stressful. The stress can lead to questioning oneself, negative feelings toward the infant, and parental anxiety. Of course, you want to be able to soothe your baby, but sometimes even your best efforts might not work. Join for an informational session on how to cope with caring for an infant that is a high crier to understand the why behind the crying and what caregivers can do when they start to feel frustrated or overwhelmed. This course is geared toward those who are pregnant or have recently welcomed a newborn. Infant crying is often heightened in newborns between 2-8 weeks of age. This one-time class will be held virtually, with packet information to be picked up at the Early Childhood Family Center a few days before the class. This class lasts roughly 45 minutes and is offered each month on the second Tuesday at 1pm.
