You are protecting and nurturing your baby while s/he is in the womb but did you know it’s really important for you and your baby that you connect with baby before s/he is born.

Here are some tips to try:

• Talk, read & sing to your baby
• Play your favorite music / try soothing music
• Stroke your bump and ask how he is
• If he kicks, put your hand on your bump and tell him that you’re here/wonder what he’s doing
• Tell your bump what you are doing
• Think about what your baby might look like
• Involve other family members

Try these every day. You will find it easier to respond to your baby once s/he is born.
