Place your baby in a safe space, such as a cot, and take a moment for yourself. Use strategies from the ICON Crying Plan, like stepping outside for fresh air, calling a friend, or taking a few deep breaths. These strategies allow parents to regain calmness and prevent escalating frustration. Recognising personal limits and asking for help is a vital part of parenting—support is always available through midwives, health visitors, GPs, and online resources. |
