Once Dara Fields tweeted that there is an emergency service for crying babies in Berlin, it's not hard to see why many are jealous of the inhabitants of the German capital.

"In Berlin there is an ambulance for crying babies. "If your baby is crying too much and you're exhausted, they come to you, check your emotional state and give you advice," Fields said.

In addition to Germany, the "Schreibaby Ambulance" service, which translates to "Crying Baby Clinic", is also available in Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg. The aim is to offer support to new mothers in the moments of despair, fear and exhaustion they often feel as they balance their own physical recovery and a crying newborn.

When the ambulance arrives parents are encouraged to distance themselves as well as learn new and innovative ways to care for their baby's unique needs.

This service can be used by parents of children up to 3 years old. Help is also offered by social workers, teachers and psychologists, who share advice on sleep, nutrition, behavior and anything else that can increase stress and exhaustion in parents of young children.

According to the American Psychological Association, one in seven women experience postpartum depression, and a July 2022 study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research shows that rates have risen significantly since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

A 2019 study published in the journal Academic Pediatrics found that women who have "restless" babies are twice as likely to have moderate to severe depressive symptoms.
