I've been a childcare provider for 15+ years and I've never heard of this. It's very informative and more parents should know about it. Looking back on some of the infants I've had the privilege of watching definitely had periods of purple crying. It's sad to watch a baby go through something like this. Thank you for this informative video. Im going to suggest it to all my new mothers and fathers.

This is my third baby and this is the first time i experience purple crying. Glad I found this, i kept on changing everyting thinking i’ve done something wrong. at least its reassuring i’m not the only one😢

Totally in Purple Crying Stage. It is hard

Just like SIDs ... This is important information, all families should know this.

I had three boys and none of them went thru this. I am thankful I had very calm babies.

Thank you for the crucial info and explanation

Absolutely excellent video. So helpful with my first child.

thank you very much for this explanations..🙏

Great information please watch and have loving patience 🥰

I love this man

I have a million kids, none of my own, so blessed to help day and night to help these mother's!!! 🤜🤛💞🌹🙏

Thank you my friend 🤜🤛💞🌹🙏

Thanks Doc!

Thank you

informative. thank you

What exactly is the development that’s happening during this period that makes it an expected/necessary phase of growth? It’s not explained in the video.

Sitting here in the hospital just trynna go home

Purpled parent here!

If it's normal then why don't all babies go through it. Currently going through it with my second child. We are at 9 weeks and I'm hoping we are at our peak cause holy shit it's Soo bad. Lol

Great video - it's reassuring to know that this is normal. I think the letter 'S' should be added to the end of PURPLE, for 'sh*tty'. "Hey babe, would you describe his crying as 'sh*tty?" "Yea, it sucks!" "Okay, I think it might just be PURPLES crying."

Fantastic info. Your babys lungs need to grow. If they cry for no reason, it may be this. Allow them to do this. Its for them. Always make sure your baby is okay and safe, but dont be too annoyed. Its all apart of growing. We as humans, must do everything we can, for our loved little ones.

So chill out &let them cry 😊its jus what they do

Does the period of purple crying tend to last longer for infants born premature? For instance an additional month for an infant born 1 month premature?

Where can I find the video in Spanish?

How does this work when you have a preemie?? Dealing with this (I think) and my babe is 3 weeks adjusted, 10 weeks actual..

Mine didn’t do that😊

I firmly believe the reason purple crying happens is because of things like your baby having a food sensitivity and their digestive tracts are distressed. The only times I’ve had crying that horrific was because of dairy being in my diet and it affecting my children. Luckily because of online reading, I found out the issue within a month for my first child, and knew within a week for my second. Would have helped more had my mother and my aunt told me they both had dairy issues with their children and had to substitute soy. Luckily, they have other alternatives now for parents who can’t do soy. Either way, people should definitely be aware that if their babies are crying nonstop, it’s possible it’s something in their diet. Cause I understand not everyone breastfeeds, so giving them cow protein based formula can also cause the same problem.

Y’all had to watch this to huh?🙂

What a load of absolute nonsense

This is malpractice.
