All babies cry, but some cry more than others. For parents, caring for a fussy baby can be exhausting and frustrating. There is no quick fix, but there is help. Fussy Baby Network Colorado is a program for parents who have concerns about their baby's fussiness during the first year of life. The Fussy Baby team is available to talk by phone via a "Warmline" to listen and to provide support and resources.
Infant specialists are also available to meet with you in your home to explore your concerns and offer support. We will talk about your baby's day, think together about strategies to soothe and calm your baby, and explore ways that you can enjoy your baby more and begin to take care of yourself. There is no charge for this service.
There is always someone close at hand when you call Children's Colorado's ParentSmart Healthline. Caring pediatric nurses are available 24/7 to answer your questions.
