Understanding Your Baby: A Parallel Group Study of a Universal Parenting Support Program

Research-based knowledge on the understanding and meeting of the baby's socioemotional needs is delivered to the parents systematically by public health visitors based on a manual, cue cards, and video clips at four time points from 1 to 10 months postpartum.

In accordance with Danish national guidelines, health visitors visit families during the infants first year of life, where they weigh and measure the infant. Further, they offer individual guidance and support regarding for instance feeding, sleeping, how to stimulate the infant, and the developmental stages that the infant goes through.
