Sharing is caring

Last October (2019), Cry-sis produced an information leaflet that was placed in 3,000 GP surgeries nationwide. The leaflet covered topics such as how to handle an inconsolable baby, how often and for how long a newborn baby will sleep on average, when a parent should seek help from their GP or pharmacist and tips on managing colic.
Almost 90,000 leaflets were distributed to one-third of the nation’s surgeries and with an 85% uptake rate, over 75,000 were taken. Many Cry-sis helpline callers also said that they had heard about the charity via a leaflet they had been handed by their GP. A resounding success! We hope that initiatives like these will mean more and more people will know where they can turn to for support with crying and sleepless babies.
