Babies cry, you can cope

All babies cry, and it can feel really tough at times – but remember: babies cry, you can cope.
Crying often increases around 2 weeks and peaks at 6–8 weeks. This phase will pass, and you are not alone.

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.
