Calling all crocheters and knitters

[Parenting NH Administrator]

CLICK for Babies: Period of PURPLE Crying Caps is a grassroots campaign inviting knitters and crocheters to make purple-colored baby caps, which will be delivered to families in November and December with the Period of PURPLE Crying, a program that educates parents about normal infant crying, ways to cope with the crying and the dangers of reacting in frustration by shaking or abusing an infant.

 

NH Children’s Trust is coordinating this year’s campaign and they have a goal of collecting 1,000 caps by Oct. 1.  For collection sites around the state, contact New Hampshire Children’s Trust at 224-1279 or [e-mail].  To learn more about the campaign, get patterns for baby caps or connect with other knitters, go to www.CLICKforbabies.org.
