About
Hi there! I developed – or rather am continually developing this site in my quest to learn more about infant development, behaviour, activity, play and many other areas. As a doctor of Clinical Psychology I am naturally interested in what we do and why, how we learn and develop and what knowledge and research is out there.

This site is part a blog about my experiences as a first (update: and second…and third!) time mum, and part a resource for child development and activity ideas. I also wanted to write about and draw on my experience as a psychologist so I’ve included articles on relevant literature and psychological issues I come across in my research.

Disclaimer: Please note, nothing on this site should be taken as direct advice or in place of guidance and advice from a qualified health care professional who you have consulted with regarding your child/issue/problem. If you have any questions, concerns or issues regarding your child’s development or well-being then please contact your GP, Health Visitor, Paediatrician, Midwife, or other relevant health care professional.
There is a wealth of literature and information out there; the information, literature, research and links that I chose to write about and cite should not be taken as a definitive answer, or suitable answer to your personal issues, or to indicate that it is the only research/literature/info available. They are merely areas that I have found on my travels and found interesting and that I decided to write about. Please make up your own mind about whether these are relevant to you or whether you wish to search for your own research/literature/information. Research and the knowledge base are constantly evolving and being updated, and there will also be more recent knowledge and research out there that I have not covered.

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

I do not keep contact information or use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes. If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day. Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. By default WordPress does not collect any analytics data. However, many web hosting accounts collect some anonymous analytics data. Baby-Brain uses google analytics. By default WordPress does not share any personal data with anyone. If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information. If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Thanks for stopping by
