Newborn Behavioural Observations System Training and Certification

Brazelton Centre UK

The NBO is an interactive observational tool that can be used with newborn babies and their families from birth up to 3 months old. The NBO works through a set of 18 behavioural observations that describe the newborn’s preferences, vulnerabilities, and areas he or she may need support. The behavioural profile revealed through the NBO gives the baby the opportunity to show who he or she is as a unique individual. This gives practitioners the ability to provide individualised caregiving guidance that can help parents meet their baby’s needs. In turn, this helps the parents develop confidence in supporting their baby and enjoy the experience of being a parent of a newborn.
