Women’s Health Magazine UK published an article today focusing on recent research by the The Parent-Infant Foundation which found that 1 in 10 women admit they struggle to bond with their baby.
“The survey of more than 1,000 mothers by the Parent-Infant Foundation found that over 80% of the women attended five or more antenatal appointments, and 64% of these said no one talked to them about bonding or building a relationship with their baby during their antenatal care.
The survey of mothers suggests more bonding advice from healthcare providers is needed.”
The Mindful Birth Group® online Parent Hub has this information readily available on the Pregnancy Learning Zone- as we know this information is not shared prenatally, and it absolutely needs to be.
For just £10/month or as part of an antenatal course booking, expectant parents can access a whole wealth of information spanning from 12 weeks through to 1 year post-birth.
They can also try it completely free for 7 days.
We are here for expectant parents every step of the way.
