Fussy Baby Support Services

What is a fussy baby?

Some babies seem to be blessed with the ability to eat when hungry, settle with a little help from a caregiver, and drift off for much needed sleep. For others, this does not come so easily. These babies tend to be more cranky and cry more often. Babies who are cranky or fussy can be harder to read and are often resistant to our efforts to soothe them. Searching for the source of a baby’s discomfort and finding ways to calm them can become a full time occupation for families.

Luckily a wave of recent research has shed light on the causes of infant fussiness. Understanding what is contributing to your baby's crankiness is the key to knowing how to soothe her. Your baby is unique and her reasons for fussing are too. What settles one baby may not settle another. That is why we tailor our approach and techniques to the individual babies we see.

Fussy Baby Support Services is a New York City area program that helps families with fussy or colicky babies. We are up on all the latest research about the causes of inconsolable crying, sometimes called colic, and the most effective ways to help families.

Sure you can wait it out– but you don’t need to. These are precious months better spent bonding than pulling your hair out. As one parent said, “it is the difference between surviving it and enjoying it.”

We offer private in-home assessments, a free warm-line, workshops, and an on-line community.
