We invite you to “Click” your knitting needles together to help prevent infant abuse in America. We need your help to knit PURPLE newborn baby caps that can be given to babies during the month of November.

Create as many as you like – from 5 to 50, or any number in between, using any newborn baby cap pattern, and any shade of soft, baby-friendly PURPLE yarn.

Your knitted caps will be given to babies to help educate parents and other caregivers about the Period of PURPLE Crying. A normal, although frustrating, period of increased crying all infants experience in the first few weeks and months

after birth.

Please help spread the word to others and encourage them to also start knitting now!

Please knit and mail your PURPLE newborn baby caps, as many as you like, to be received no later than October 26, 2011 to:

Kimberly BuckNational Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome

1433 North 1075 West, Suite 110Farmington, UT 84025

Frustration with an infant’s crying is the number one reason someone shakes and harms an infant. By knitting PURPLE baby caps, you can help us educate parents that crying is normal and that it is never okay to shake or harm an infant.

Lend your hands to raise awareness about a life-saving project- Period of PURPLE Crying- and help keep babies safe in America.
