Today is the beginning of #IMHAW2023 #bondingbeforebirth
Not everyone bonds with their baby easily - for some it takes time & additional support. There is no shame in that. Here is a quote from a Perinatal CNN, who used Grobrain to help a vulnerable mother build a strong bond.

I just found this of me taking baby bump photos for BetterStartBpl last week. #bondingbeforebirth

This year #IMHAW2023 is all about #BondingBeforeBirth and our incredible team are going to be part of a Facebook Live Event to think about this topic, what helps and what can get in the way.

It's Infant Mental Health Awareness Week! This year's theme is #BondingBeforeBirth . #IMHAW2023 is an opportunity to share learning, research and resources, including best practice examples of how services can support babies and families, particularly in the antenatal period.

Bringing the conversation about bonding into our care as professionals is certainly important and beneficial. But how do we do it?
