Shaking babies can cause head trauma, which may lead to death or long-term health and learning disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>ICON is a UK-wide programme aimed at educating health and social care professionals, parents, and carers about infant crying, effective coping strategies, and how to prevent abusive head trauma. The third annual ICON Week seeks to raise awareness about these issues and support families in managing stress related to infant crying.<\/p>\n<p>Toyah Carty-Moore, Designated Nurse for Safeguarding Children, at Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cICON helps people who care for babies to cope with crying. It\u2019s important for people to know that infant crying is normal, comforting methods can help, it\u2019s OK to walk away, and never ever shake a baby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want people to know that it isn\u2019t just health and care professionals that can help people with young babies, friends and relatives can help spread the ICON message too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYoung babies do cry, and this is completely normal, and sometimes they can\u2019t be easily soothed. We want people to know that if your baby doesn\u2019t stop crying it\u2019s important to stay calm. Providing your baby is well, it\u2019s also OK to walk away for a few minutes if the baby is safe and the crying is becoming too much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you or someone you know needs support, help is available from your midwife, health visitor or GP. There\u2019s also lots of information on the <a href=\"https:\/\/iconcope.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\">ICON website<\/a>. You can cope and it is completely normal for babies to cry.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The safeguarding team at the ICB has partnered with the three local authorities to deliver ICON training to professionals and volunteers across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire including police staff, library staff, child minders, nursery workers and social workers. So far more than 150 people have been trained in 2024 and it is hoped this number will reach 350 by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Toyah added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnyone can deliver the ICON message, once the message of ICON gets out far and wide we hope to see a reduction in the abusive head trauma in babies.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The ICON programme is built around a simple, evidence-based acronym:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I \u2013 Infant crying is normal and will eventually stop.<\/li>\n<li>C \u2013 Comfort methods can sometimes soothe the baby, and the crying will cease.<\/li>\n<li>O \u2013 It\u2019s OK to walk away for a few minutes if you have ensured the baby\u2019s safety and the crying is overwhelming.<\/li>\n<li>N \u2013 Never shake or hurt a baby.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dr Suzanne Smith, nurse, health visitor, and founder of ICON, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAbusive head trauma can occur in any setting when a parent or carer is overwhelmed by persistent crying. The additional pressures from the rising cost of living further strain families, leading to potentially devastating consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cICON\u2019s mission is to offer support and advice to parents and carers who may be struggling. We aim to normalise the experience of infant crying, share practical information on managing stress, and ultimately reduce the risk of abusive head trauma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelp is available for anyone who feels overwhelmed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For more information about ICON, please visit  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iconcope.org\" rel=\"noopener\">www.iconcope.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\r\n  <\/section><\/div><!-- .assembler_text-module.assembler_module.assembler_text-module_1.assembler_module_1..transparent --><\/div><!-- .assembler_module_area.assembler_module_area_1 --><\/div><!-- .assembler_default-group.assembler_module_group.assembler_default-group_1.assembler_module_group_1  -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miqt\u00eb dhe t\u00eb af\u00ebrmit e personave q\u00eb kujdesen p\u00ebr foshnja t\u00eb vogla n\u00eb Bristol, North Somerset dhe South Gloucestershire po u b\u00ebhet thirrje t\u00eb mb\u00ebshtesin prind\u00ebrit dhe kujdestar\u00ebt kur foshnjat e tyre qajn\u00eb. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[698,723,300,1],"tags":[853,854,855,74],"class_list":["post-29032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-children-and-young-people","category-maternity","category-maternity-services","category-uncategorized","tag-crying","tag-icon-week","tag-newborn-babies","tag-support"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29032"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29032\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33104,"href":"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29032\/revisions\/33104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
