Calling All Knitters!

“Click” your knitting needles together and help prevent infant
abuse! We need your help to knit PURPLE baby caps
for a new campaign to prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome and
Infant Abuse.

Knit or crochet as many as you like from 5 to 50. Caps will
be collected from now until the end of October and distributed
during the month of November to new babies.
By knitting caps you will be helping to educate parents
about the Period of PURPLE Crying, a time when babies cry
more than any other time and can be very frustrating for parents.
Please knit and drop off or mail your PURPLE newborn
baby caps, as many as you like, to be received no later than
October 26, 2011 to:

Claire Yambao, Provincial Program Coordinator
Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome BC
