It’s #InfantMentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💜 In neonatal units, the quietest person - the baby - still has a voice. 👶 When we slow down, tune in, and respond with empathy, we shift from doing to babies to being with them. Are we truly seeing, hearing, understanding them? 💞

Great to hear the emphasis on the voice of the baby in the #WhoIsHoldingTheBaby webinar from @parentinfantfdn.bsky.social today. I will be presenting our work on infant voice tomorrow at the Newcastle 1001 critical days conference for Infant Mental Health Awareness week #IMHAW2025 #IMHAW25 #IMHAW

Today we've launched new research which shows a growing number of parent-infant relationship teams across the UK. But in many areas, specialist support is still not available. Find out more & help us ask #Whoisholdingthebaby?’ this #IMHAW2025 👉bit.ly/43ys30y
