The Period of PURPLE Crying app offers a comprehensive library of child development topics related to infant crying, soothing, sleeping, and coping with frustration. It also includes a "Baby Tracker" feature that allows parents to monitor feedings, diaper changes, growth, and crying. This tracker is a valuable tool for recording and observing your baby's progress.
The app provides research-based articles, videos, and full-length programs on important child development subjects, including infant crying, sleeping, soothing, and coping with frustration. It is a collaboration between the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome (NCSBS) and Dr. Ronald G. Barr, a respected developmental pediatrician and renowned researcher in the field of infant crying.
The Period of PURPLE Crying app is increasingly being offered to parents in hospitals, home visiting programs, pediatric practices, and public health offices. If you're interested in accessing the app, ask your nurse or healthcare professional for an activation code. If it's not available through your healthcare provider, you can contact the NCSBS at purple@dontshake.org for assistance.
Love the app. It’s great myself and my wife can both have it on our phones, & it will sync up on our phones. However, please make it so we can edit the feeding time. That would make it 5 stars.
Important Information & Awesome Baby Tracker
SenatorBL
The app has great information that is incredibly important for parents. Info about how to cope with your baby’s crying, tips to soothe his crying and other things like safe sleep. Really helpful information. I also love the baby tracker that lets me input sleeping times, diaper changes, feeding times, crying bouts, etc. It’s easy to use and comes in handy at doctor visits. Great app for new and experienced parents of babies!
App crashes all the time

There is some decent content in this app but it crashes A LOT! I hoped to pass it along to my parents, who will be watching my baby some of the time, but since it crashes so much it’s hard to to suggest it to them. The app also has various “tracking” functions which I find useless...there are so many other better apps for tracking things for babies that I don’t need this app to also try to do so, and poorly at that.I really hope the developers work on making it more functional as their first priority!
Locked Out After First Use
dembiak
I opened the app, logged in, and while creating a personal profile hit a few roadblocks discovering I couldn’t create a baby profile before baby was born. While backing out, I got permanently locked out of the app. My email isn’t recognized, my password isn’t accepted, and there’s no other access. Garbage for functionality. Just use the internet.
Enjoy a refreshed look and feel along with improvements to the baby tracker.
