You walk into a room and forget why you're there. You can’t recall the word for "book". You feel like your brain is failing—but it’s actually specialising. Your brain is organising new superpowers: enhanced empathy, threat detection, and motivation. You aren't losing yourself; you are becoming the nurturer your baby needs.

We keep telling parents to do better. It’s time to look at that essential second layer of support that babies need - support for parents.

Babies don’t live in silos. Our systems shouldn’t either. A baby's brain grows in a web of relationships. Yet health visitors, nurseries, and mental health services rarely talk. When we work in silos, families fall through the gaps.

INDEPENDENCE ≠ RESILIENCE.

For decades, professionals were trained to fix behaviors in babies who needed connection. Doctors receive 27 minutes of infant sleep education, but less than 1% receive relationship-focused training. We need a different approach.

REPAIR ≠ FAILURE.

It’s how resilience is built. It’s not about being a "perfect parent"; it's about what happens when things go wrong and how you find your way back.
