Talk to me before I’m born
January’s message is “Talk to me before I’m born…think of the bond we will form”.
Talking, singing and reading to your baby before they are born will help develop a really special bond.

From around 24-27 weeks babies are able to recognise their mums voice.
We will be sharing more tips and ideas this month for how you can build and develop an attachment with your ‘bump’!
