Newborn Behavioural Observations (NBO)
Why is my baby crying?
What does my baby want?
Does my baby even like me?
These are just some of the questions that parents ask when attempting to navigate the first few months of parenthood. Then there's all the information and advice we are given, some of it's contradictory and often it doesn't help us.
All babies are unique. The NBO helps you to observe and interpret your baby's cues and learn how to understand and respond in a way that meets their unique capabilities and individuality.
We look at how your baby responds to sound when asleep, (habituation) and faces and objects (orientation). We can also look at your baby’s physical activity/reflexes and how your baby is able to manage sleeping and crying.
What's involved?
One home visit of up to an hour to observe your baby's response to a range of stimuli designed to consider their autonomic, motor and social development.
With input from you as parents we put together a profile of your baby, noting any strengths and preferences as well as anything they may be finding difficult. We will discuss your baby's likes and dislikes and anything you would like to focus on and together we will consider what your baby needs and wants to help them adapt to the world outside the womb.
“the newborn session was a great experience. We loved the amazing opportunity to learn new things about our baby and the way he communicates with us”
An NBO session is £60 and takes place in your home with one or both parents and can take up to an hour
