Exploring the
Science of Nurture
Explore a new field of neurobiological and psychological research called: Nurture Science
In celebration of APPPAH’s 40 year anniversary, experts and practitioners gathered from around the world to share their studies and testimonies on how a nurturing environment supports optimal infant physiologic, cognitive, emotional, and psychological development.
Nurture is defined as “the process of caring for and encouraging the growth or development of someone or something.” While medical interventions are sometimes necessary and can be lifesaving, every aspect of newborn care from the moment of birth has the potential to either support a nurturing sense of safety, comfort, and security or instill a sense of threat, discomfort, or danger in the newly born baby. These experts show us how secure attachment starts before conception and is even influenced by how a mother’s perception about the quality of her birth experience affects her mental health, which in turn, affects the growth and development of her baby.
Join us for a deep dive into some of the most important aspects of nurture science as we head into a new era of evidence-based medical care for mothers and babies.
