Fussy Baby Program for Alameda County

Does your new baby cry a lot?

Is he having trouble sleeping?

Is she having difficulty feeding?

Are you worried about being a good parent?

Are you feeling sad, stressed, or overwhelmed?

You’re not alone.

All babies cry, but some cry more than others. One in five babies is fussy—difficult to comfort and may have trouble feeding and sleeping. For parents, caring for a fussy baby can be exhausting and frustrating.

There is no quick fix—but there is help. Call JFCS/East Bay’s Fussy Baby Network Program if you have concerns about your baby’s temperament and behavior during their first year of life. Our Infant Specialists will work with you to find more ways to soothe, care for, and enjoy your baby. We’ll also explore ways to reduce stress while supporting you in your important role as a parent.

Fussy Baby Parent/Infant Program

An Infant Specialist will respond to your initial call by the next business day. The Infant Specialist will meet with you in your home or at our office to explore your concerns, offer support, and provide resources. We will talk about your baby’s day, think together about strategies to soothe and calm your baby, and explore ways that you can enjoy your baby more and begin to take care of yourself.
