Sheffield City Council, GB ICON programme infant crying

Sheffield City Council launched the ICON programme to help parents cope with infant crying and reduce the risk of infant injury. Participating healthcare professionals share the ICON message with parents: Infant crying is normal, Comforting methods can help, it's Okay to walk away, and Never shake a baby. The ICON programme was launched in response to concerns that social isolation and increased pressure during the COVID-19 pandemic could increase incidents of infant head trauma.
