Halton and Warrington Baby and Infant Bonding Support (BIBS) provides essential support to parents who are having difficulty bonding or developing their relationship with their baby.

Pregnancy, birth and caring for a new baby can be a challenging and confusing time for many parents. 

A number of things might get in the way of you enjoying your relationship with your baby, such as:

• Feeling down or anxious
• Having a difficult birth
• Worries about your baby 
• Worries about your ability to cope as a parent
• Difficult events from the past

Our focus is on building a trusting and supportive relationship with you and your baby and with the right support, evidence shows this period is a great time to make positive changes for the future, for both you and your baby.

If you would like to access support from BIBS, speak to your GP, midwife, health visitor or any other health professional working with you. They will be able to refer you to our service if they think we can help.
