We now have overwhelming evidence that supporting mental health in early childhood improves later outcomes and generates future savings. We must also recognise that babies and young children have a right to the best possible mental health, just as older children and adults do.

Your baby loves it when you interact and respond to them as you build your special relationship, which is so important for their health, development and happiness as they grow up. It’s never too soon to start communicating with them! Brazelton Centre UK #IMHAW2024 #SpeakUpForBabies

It's infant mental health awareness week! The Solihull Approach online course 'Understanding your baby' is a fantastic source of information to help get to know your baby, including understanding baby's brain development and baby's feelings. Visit inourplace.co.uk/scotland/ to access

In a baby lies hope, new starts, endless possibilities and the greatest power for change. This is why for #IMHAW2024 we are supporting the call to 'Speak up for Babies'. Why not share this with your local politicians? First 1001 Days Parent-Infant Foundation AiMH UK - The Association for Infant Mental Health The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood

Have a new baby - or love someone who does?  You’ll want to keep a special eye on this space, because this week I’m going to talk about infancy’s most critical outcome and how to achieve it.  That outcome: Secure attachment.  The earliest months of life are a busy time
