Crying In Babies

The period of 'PURPLE crying' refers to a time period when some pēpi (babies) begin crying more and may be hard to settle. This usually starts at about 2 weeks of age and peaks at 8 weeks. It usually ends by 12 weeks of age. The good news is that the period of PURPLE crying will end!

Crying is your baby's way of communicating. Pēpi (babies) often need a lot of calming, soothing and holding when they are upset.
