The Period of PURPLE Crying®
 The Period of PURPLE Crying® program is the name given to the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome’s evidence-based SBS prevention program, which includes a full color 10-page booklet, parent reminder card, 10-minute PURPLE Crying video and a 17-minute Crying, Soothing, Coping: Doing What Comes Naturally video intended to be given to parents of new infants. The program has two aims: to support caregivers in their understanding of early increased infant crying, and to reduce the incidence of shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma.
A Child Development Educational Approach to Prevention
The Period of PURPLE Crying program takes a normal child development approach by helping parents and caregivers understand the frustrating features of crying in normal infants that can lead to shaking or abuse. The program provides the opportunity for parents to learn about the crying characteristics from over 50 years of research on normal infant crying conducted by Ronald G. Barr, MDCM, FRCPC, and other scientists worldwide.
