• How to 'tune in' to your baby's cues and signals and practice ways to soothe a baby.
• How to manage your baby's emotions.
• How to bond with your baby.
• Baby massage.
• Looking at how diet and lifestyle choices during pregnancy connect with baby’s brain development.
There are 5 x 2 hour sessions with a break for refreshments in each session.
• It is recommended that you attend all five sessions to get the most of the programme.
• You are welcome to come to sessions on your own or with a partner or another relative who supports you in your care and the care of your child.
