About this course

Your baby’s brain is making millions of connections every second, learning and establishing patterns that will set them up for a lifetime. No matter your family set-up, the important relationships in your child’s life help shape their emotional health and wellbeing, with their first three years being the most important period of their brain development.

Understanding your baby is for all parents, grandparents and carers welcoming a new baby and has been designed to include all the practical information and advice you might hope for from a traditional baby group, with the additional benefit of support around emotional and mental wellbeing for you and your baby. The resources and information included are focused on the first year of your baby’s life. You might find our course on Understanding your child: from toddler to teenager more helpful if your baby is over one.
