WELCOME TO THE VITAL BABIES PROGRAM
As parents, we influence our child’s development at all ages, but research has shown that our influence in the first few months and years of life significantly impact on a child’s later development.
But the influence doesn’t just come from us in our parental role- the nurture we give our children- it also comes from nature. Together, nature and nurture create the health and professional characteristics of our children.

The aim of the Vital Babies program is to introduce parents to some of the influences on your baby’s health that can impact upon them, not only now, but in the future. We aim to give you the knowledge and skills to positively influence your baby’s growth and development.

Our Experienced health professionals will advise you:
* what to check for at each stage of your baby’s growth
* When to seek professional advice
* who to turn to if you need to ask questions,
and
* which questions to ask.

Learn how to stimulate and maintain your baby’s health and well-being, how to support yourself during this exciting time, how sleep patterns and daily routine help your baby’s body and brain to grow, and how developmental stages impacts upon physical and mental development.
