FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can my baby really cry for up to 5 hours a day and still be considered healthy ? Yes ! All babies cry , some more than others . PURPLE reminds parents and caregivers that it is always best to ensure you maintain regular appointments with your doctor if you have concerns .
Why do babies cry ? Especially this much for only a few months ?
Crying is a normal part of child development . Babies cry the most in months 1 - 5 , but they will grow out of this .
What can I do to soothe my baby ?
Some strategies that may help include : Holding or rocking baby , swaddling , walking , white noise or soft music , warm bath , offering a pacifier , going for a car ride or stroller walk . Sometimes nothing works ..... and that is still normal .
What if none of these soothing techniques work ?
It is okay to place baby alone , on their back , in their safe sleep space ( crib , bassinet , pack - n - play ) and take a responsible break while checking on baby every 5 - 10 minutes . Taking this time to call your doctor , call a friend / family member , step outside into fresh air , or drink some water are all much safer than attempting to soothe an infant while upset .
