Help Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome
Did you know that all babies go through what is called the “Period of Purple Crying”? This is the time that new parents are most vulnerable to loosing their cool and babies are most susceptible to shaken baby syndrome.
That’s why Yarn & Thread Expressions is participating in “Click for Babies”, I knitting and crocheting campaign that raises awareness and helps remind new parents understand that increased crying in the first few months is normal.
