Up to 10% of all babies whine and cry for more than 2 hours a day in the first year of life even after the age of 3 months. Many parents are very worried if their child cries excessively despite all attempts to calm it down.  It is important not to remain alone with these worries.

Sometimes the barrier to accept professional help is high – many parents express doubts whether they are good enough parents if they cannot solve all problems on their own. However, there are situations in which you should entrust your concerns to a professional who is specialized in your child’s development.

By having this courage and accepting professional help you are showing:

• You love your child and only want the best for him or her.
• You want to improve the situation for your family.
• You become active and take responsibility for the well-being of your child, your family and yourself.
• You take action for yourself so that you can be a good parent for your child.

Remember that excessive crying is a common phenomenon for which many parents need professional support. It can help if you realize that every professional in this field talks to parents who are in the same or similar situation as you on a daily basis.
