AiMH UK is delighted to support Baby Communication Week 2026 — an annual awareness campaign led by the Brazelton Centre UK and celebrated by organisations, practitioners and families across the UK and internationally.
The week highlights how babies communicate from the very beginning of life through their expressions, movements, behaviours and relationships, and encourages adults to better recognise and respond to babies’ cues so they feel understood, connected and emotionally safe.
As part of the week, AiMH UK is sharing our reflective resource “25 Things Every Baby Would Want You to Know” — designed to help adults think about the world from a baby’s perspective and the importance of feeling safe, seen, understood and connected within relationships.
