"It's like a first date..." Bonding & Making Moments Matter

Welcome to this episode of One in Ten. Sarah, our Chief Executive, and co-host Dr. Maggie Meeks, neonatologist and counsellor, are joined by neonatal physiotherapist Tiffany Hamilton whose daughter spent time in neonatal intensive care, and Larissa, mum to Eleanor & Reece, two babies with contrasting NICU journeys - one in New Zealand and one overseas.

Together we talk about the often-daunting challenge of connecting with your baby in the unit. From cares to ditching the clothes and going skin to skin, Larissa and Tiffany discuss how a multi-sensory approach can support bonding and brain development in an uncertain environment.
