This book about Birth, Bonding and Baby Behaviour investigates the many factors surrounding childbirth and the early postnatal period that influence parents’ mental health, parent-infant bonding, and infant behaviour and temperament. Beyond the purely physiological processes of labour and birth, it investigates the mother’s subjective and emotional journey by examining how supported she feels, how she experiences the birth, and how those experiences affect her in the days and weeks that follow. The book explores the impact of physical and psychological experiences during childbirth on the well-being of both mother and baby, providing insights into the complex interplay between the mother’s body and mind and the infant’s behaviour and development. It is a vital resource for midwives and other healthcare professionals who work with mothers and infants during childbirth.
