ICON Week 2023
The third annual ICON week is taking place 25th - 29th September. During ICON Week we aim to raise awareness of infant crying and how to cope to support parents/carers and prevent serious injury, illness and even death of young babies as a result of Abusive Head Trauma that happens when someone shakes a baby.
ICON is a programme adopted by health and social care organisations in the UK to provide information about infant crying, including how to cope, support parents/carers, and reduce stress.
ICON stands for ….
I Infant crying is normal
C Comforting methods can help
O It’s OK to walk away
N Never, ever shake a baby
Speak to someone if you need support such as your family, friends, midwife, GP or health visitor.
More information and a wealth of resources are available on the ICON Cope website – www.iconcope.org
