Support for Parents of High Needs Babies

Thank you, Postpartum Support International
NEW SUPPORT GROUP: Support for Parents of High Needs Babies will take place on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 9:30 am PST!
Led by trained peer facilitators, this group is for parents of “high need” newborns to 12-month-old babies. All babies have needs and depend on their caregivers, yet some babies have more needs than others. “High needs baby” is not a medical term or diagnosis, but it is a term used to describe babies with some of these characteristics: constant crying (for several hours in a row), difficult to soothe, and easily overstimulated. A highly sensitive or high needs baby might not sleep without being held, might cry for three hours every evening, or might get restless and frustrated when transitioning from one environment to another. We know that parents of “colicky” or high-needs babies can feel isolated, exhausted, and overwhelmed. You are not alone, and we are here to help. Crying babies are welcome too!
If you are looking for a group for parenting a medically fragile baby or child, please check out our group specifically for those parents.
