Home-Start UK has released the first of a series of 6 Tips for Parents videos.  The first one is bonding with your unborn baby…………..

Even before they are born, your baby is listening and getting to know you.

When they hear you speak, they settle and their heartbeat slows. This helps them to recognise you and to begin to learn about relationships and language.

And paying attention to the baby inside the bump helps you to learn about them and notice things about them, such as what they respond to, when they are more active or settled.

Involving other loved ones in speaking, reading or singing to baby can also help them connect.
