A Great Head Start

from clickforbabies.org

Some babies cry a lot in their first few weeks on Earth, and apparently it's not always because of colic. It is during this time frame that doctors see the most cases of what is descriptively called Shaken Baby Syndrome. A new campaign aims to create more awareness of this dangerous and sometimes deadly problem, and you can help by knitting purple baby caps to remind new parents that this is a normal phase and to be patient. The National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome is hoping to pass out 100,000 of them in November and December: http://www.ecouterre.com/knit-a-purple-infant-hat-help-prevent-shaken-baby-syndrome/
