| "Getting
to Know You" http://www.nswiop.nsw.edu.au/videos.html |
Current research has shown how critical early social interaction is for a child's
developing brain. In the hurly-burly of parenthood, it can be difficult to recognise your
baby's earliest communications. By focusing on the first three months of life, this video
aims to help babies and parents get to know each other.

Dad" http://www.nswiop.nsw.edu.au/videos.html

Sometimes, despite the amazing emotions of fatherhood, men can feel little more than
bystanders. However babies know their fathers too, and from the moment of birth they are
eager to interact with them.

hug-a-bub are advocates of
"attachment parenting." Attachment parenting is a high-touch, responsive style
of baby care that brings out the best in both baby and parents. It is a style of baby care
that parents would naturally practice if they followed their own intuition. The hug-a-bub carrier was designed with the appreciation and
understanding for why babies need to be in close contact with their parents and how hard
this can be without the support of an extra pair of hands.
They have designed a baby carrier that has made it more
comfortable and convenient for parents to wear their baby as they go, than to continually
have to stop what they are doing to rock the pram, shake the rattle or bounce the bouncer.
