An extension of the Birth to Five Helpline is the Fussy Baby program. This program provides telephone and home visiting support to help families navigate challenges associated with hard-to-soothe infants, excessive crying, sleeping problems and feeding difficulties in the first year of life.
Our bilingual (English/Spanish) early childhood specialists are on duty Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. You can also leave a voicemail, email us or text the Helpline. Better yet download our Birth to Five Helpline app in the Apple App Store or on Google Play. With one-touch you can call, text, or email our Helpline early childhood specialists.

When you call the Helpline, you can also access support as needed from Southwest Human Development’s wide range of early childhood development staff, including psychologists, master’s level counselors, registered nurses, disabilities specialists, early literacy specialists and occupational, speech/language and physical therapists. In addition, we can provide counseling and resource/referral information.
