A website which provides information about infant crying and how to cope is being highlighted by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s Healthy Family Teams.
ICON is a programme that provides information about these issues, with lots of resources which can be shared and downloaded.
ICON stands for:
• I – Infant crying is normal
• C – Comforting methods can help
• O – It’s OK to walk away
• N – Never ever shake a baby
Speak to someone if you need support such as your family, friends, midwife, GP or health visitor.
