Encouraging news for HVs & new parents. Baby's communication in early weeks often isn't clear & this can add to mums/dads feeling helpless & anxious. Using the validated tool should add to parents' confidence they're doing the right things iHV

Good to see the The Guardian discussing Babies and Pre-school children in their review of how each generation continues to be affected by the pandemic. Babies are very different from young people, and need equal but different support, consideration & understanding.
