Period of Purple Crying

At the hospital I work at all new mom's are given information and a video to watch and share with all people who will help care for their newborn.  This video provides information about the period of purple crying in infants and what to expect from your newborn and strategies for coping with this period of their lives.
The month of November is the awareness month for this program.  In recognition of this program all babies born this month will be given a purple hat to wear when they are born and to take home with them.  All hats have been handmade by volunteers.  I also made some purple hats which my children wanted to take to the hospital themselves to donate them.  I thought it was a great opportunity for my girls to thank the wonderful staff in the birthing centre for the great care we received there.  They really are a great group of nurses!  Personally I think they are the best!

Here are my girls with Nurse Ashley.
