Do you anticipate or are you currently feeling overwhelmed by your baby's crying? You're not alone. Caring for an infant who has periods of inconsolable crying can be incredibly stressful, and sometimes your best efforts to soothe them just don't work. This informational session will help you understand the "why" behind the crying and give you practical tools to cope when you feel frustrated or overwhelmed. This virtual course is for expecting parents and those who have recently welcomed a newborn, since infant crying is often heightened between 2 and 8 weeks of age. This class lasts roughly 45 minutes and is offered each month on the second Tuesday at 1 pm. Pick up your packet of information at the Early Childhood Family Center a few days before the class.

Bond with your baby and connect with other families who are also in the midst of parenting an infant. This is a safe space to share the joys and frustrations of parenthood and realize you're not alone. Our Parent Educators and fellow caregivers are here to offer support. If your child is born in the month of September, please contact us at 651-351-4000 to register. Due to a software glitch you will be unable to enroll online.
