In this video, we look at the importance of developing close and loving relationships with babies in their early days and weeks.
Responding to babies’ needs for comfort and food is hugely beneficial for brain development and makes for more confident toddlers. Parents should be supported in breastfeeding responsively and keeping their babies close to help them become happy, healthy and secure children and adults.
