Relationship Building Starts in Pregnancy

The early relationship you, your partner and family have with your baby is really important. How you meet their needs and care for them, shapes how their brain develops. This is as true before they’re born as when they arrive.

Your baby can hear you from at least 16 weeks, and perhaps earlier. You can try the following to nurture this bond;

🤰 Speak to your baby

🤰 Sing to your baby

🤰 Tell stories or read to your baby
