The Birth to Five Helpline is a free service open to all families with young children looking for the latest child development information from experts in the field. The Birth to Five Helpline combines sensitive, supportive listening with sound information from professionals who have expertise in early childhood development and parenting/caregiving.
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.

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.
