Babies cry, you can cope! When babies cry it can be stressful and overwhelming. Help is out there and all you need to do is ask.

ICON Week (22 - 26 September 2025) is a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about infant crying and how to manage it, supporting parents and carers, and preventing serious injuries, illnesses, and even fatalities.
