Investment in postnatal care is urgently needed, as this can impact a child’s entire life and greatly affect their life expectancy.

Through our services and support for new parents, we know how vital this can be.

Before your baby can talk to you, they develop their communication through touch. Baby massage is a lovely way to do this, as well as help soothe and calm your little one!

If you're feeling it too, why not see what your local NCT branch are up to? Get out of the house, get some vitamin D and meet a friendly, supportive group of parents near you. #JoinusJanuary

Like Shabazz on #TheBabyHasLanded, it's easy for dads to find going back to work difficult. You're probably not getting much sleep, and your whole world has probably just turned upside down!

Just like Syler and Mo on @BBCTwo #TheBabyHasLanded last night, getting enough sleep when you have a newborn is really tough.

It does get better for parents, though! Our NCT teacher Cathy Finlay chats through why babies have trouble with sleep and when things might improve 💚
