PHOTOS: Clicking for a cause in Burnaby

The Click for Babies campaign - which aims to raise awareness about infant crying - is still collecting purple baby caps to hand out at birthing hospitals around B.C., including Burnaby Hospital.

Organized by the B.C. Children's Hospital, the Period of Purple Crying program gives educational videos - and, for a few months each year, an accompanying purple cap - to the parents of newborns as a way to spread information about normal infant crying.

The project is aimed at reducing parental stress, shaken baby syndrome and infant abuse.

The NOW published an article about this campaign in mid-September, and encouraged local knitters who were taking part in the campaign to send in photos of their finished works before sending them off. Any photos we receive will be included in this gallery. Send pictures to cmyers@burnabynow.com. For more information about the program see www.clickforbabies.org.
