Social relationships throughout lifespan are critical for health and wellbeing. Oxytocin, often called the ‘the love chemical’ plays an important role in early-life nurturing and supports bonding and attachment. Remember you can’t spoil your baby with love! Close loving connections matter. ❤️🥰

Lovely to see our Senior Nurse Morag Cook & Team Leader Laura Gordon featured in the Glasgow times Glasgow Times sharing vital information for new Parents and Parents-to-be 🙌🏼🥰
Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. 📚
