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 peaks at 6 to 8 weeks before settling down around the 3rd to 4th month. 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.
