<\/a><\/p>\n

This sweet little newborn hat was created to raise awareness for the Click for Babies program.  The program’s mission is to teach people about the period of purple crying…those first few months known as the “purple period” when babies don’t ever seem to stop crying and how it can lead to Shaken Baby Syndrome.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is a wonderful group of folks knitting and crocheting hats to donate to hospitals where they are then distributed to newborns and their families in hospitals along with informative booklets…the purple color is to remind parents that the “purple crying period” of their development is perfectly normal during a time when caregivers may get frustrated with long periods of crying.<\/span><\/p>\n
