The purpose of this parent infant relationship intervention is to help parents to deepen the bond with their baby/Infant. Finding a range of ways for parents to have two-way communication with their baby to help with their relationship and to help baby/infant development.

The programme will support parents to learn coping mechanisms and tools to cope with the demands of being a new parent to develop insights and techniques to help them understand their baby/infant's development.
