Safety and stimulation
When you decide to have a baby, think about your child’s care.
A good environment in the first 1 000 days of a child’s life includes loving care and a nurturing, safe space free from stress and harmful substances. Loving parents and an attentive, consistent caregiver can be a good team to ensure the best first 1 000 days.
Mothers need the support of fathers, family and friends.
The correct diet (and nurturing environment for both mother and baby), building a bond with the parent or caregiver in a safe and loving environment as well as regular, stimulating play are crucial aspects of healthy child development.
