Your relationship with your baby helps them grow💜

As you interact with your baby and tune in to their needs, you may notice a pattern forms - a to and fro between the two of you, like a dance. Dr Hazel Douglas MBE, Clinical Psychologist and Child Psychotherapist explains this is 'reciprocity'.

These back and forth interactions light up your baby's brain and strengthens their brain cell connections, helping them process the world around them.

Follow along our online postnatal pathway to understand more about the power of your interactions with your baby. Learn more in the comments
