Soothing a crying baby can be frustrating.

Immigrant mothers reported feelings of isolation, guilt, and difficulties navigating motherhood while adjusting to a new place. Researchers at Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome BC and the BC Injury Research & Prevention Unit conducted focus groups to better understand the feelings, experiences, and challenges of parents who were new to Canada.

These focus groups provided opportunities to explore normal negative feelings, factors that can exasperate these feelings, and strategies for coping. Findings from this study will help guide the creation of resources that include diverse lived experiences to better support new parents.

Babies can cry a lot. Knowing and practicing ways to calm yourself will help you through the challenging times now and in the future.

When a baby is fussy and won’t stop crying, you may need to place baby in a safe space and take a break. This is normal.
