BabyHUGS

BabyHUGS is the most well established of our mother infant relationship programs, and was developed to be implemented following treatment of maternal postnatal depression (PND). Our second program is an expanded version of BabyHUGS, with a focus on running the program in the community, CommunityHUGS. Our third program, PremieHUGS, is designed for mothers and their premature infants. A mother-infant dance therapy program - Intuitive Mothering - is also well established and regularly offered.

BabyHUGS is a three session intervention program designed for women and their infants and follows on from the Getting Ahead of Postnatal Depression program.
BabyHUGS focuses on assisting mothers to become more fully engaged and attuned to their infant. BabyHUGS comprises three sessions, which include: play and physical contact to promote parent-infant engagement; a focus on observing and understanding infant cues; and, the examination of parental responses to infant cues. BabyHUGS has been previously researched and results demonstrated a rapid decline in parenting stress.

Fees
BabyHUGS is offered on a fee-paying basis and costs $50.00 (3 sessions).
