Babies love faces more than toys! 👶 Until around 3 months, they’re fascinated by people, chatting, copying, and being copied. No need for noisy, pricey toys, keep it safe, simple, and sociable! #ready2relate #ParentingTips

During #IMHAW2023 , with all the talk of bonding & Bowlby’s attachment theory, can I remind us that greater nuance was brought to these ideas by Colwyn Trevarthen & colleagues, when they developed the concept of intersubjectivity & companionship in 1970s. https://t.co/ae6mNUKZcD

[Suzanne Zeedyk @suzannezeedyk]

To mark the loss of Colwyn Trevarthen, our team at @connectedbaby has pulled out a clip from our documentary film, released in 2011 & funded by @BPSOfficial. Colwyn recalls with playful delight the discovery of the musicality of baby communication.

Postnatal desperation around 1 in 10 mums
And postnatal psychosis around 1 in 500

Pregnant women in English prisons are seven times more likely than the general population to have a stillbirth. Meanwhile 25% of babies born to women in prison were admitted to a neonatal unit compared to national figure of 14%. My report w @nic__murray https://t.co/KSmhI7Wn28

“The number of children in food poverty has doubled in the last year.” Thank you @PeterStefanovi2 .

I keep thinking about the educationalists complaining about young people’s “behaviour crisis”, as featured in @tes this week. Are the links not obvious?
