Need help calming your baby to sleep? This dad knows an important secret: skin to skin contact.

Watch what happens when he snuggles up with his little one, bringing their faces into direct contact.

🚨 The Government has announced an uplift to the early years pupil premium today.

This is great news, as we have been calling for an increase to the EYPP for several years - including in our recent manifesto of policies to improve social mobility ⤵️

There is rightly a considerable focus on promoting development in the first 1000 days of life, but the next 1000 days are also incredibly important! For health, cognitive outcomes, learning and more, it's essential to give this period attention. Great to see this addressed in this Lancet series.
💡Paper 1 shows that the next 1,000 days are a window of opportunity to promote healthy development.

Yet, only 62 million children (25·4%) currently receive adequate nurturing care, leaving 181·9 million children exposed to risks that threaten their healthy development

I highly recommend following @danwuori.bsky.social for gorgeous insights into the wonders of early childhood development. And videos that make you go "oh 🥹🥰"
Treasure this moment, Dad.

What you’re seeing here is a posture known as the “newborn scrunch” - legs and arms tucked in close to the chest.

Looking for the perfect holiday gift for your baby? How about a “face book?”

I’ve written often about how much infants love the faces of their loved ones. Indeed, we’re biologically driven from birth to distinguish - and study - the faces that matter most.
