Can a baby have mental health before they can even talk? The earliest months of life may shape far more than most of us realise. In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent is joined by Dr Charlotte Dunster-Page to explore infant mental health, attachment and bonding, and what can happen when early parenting doesn't go to plan. They discuss why the first 1,001 days matter, how to spot when a parent or baby might need extra support, and why bonding often takes time. Charlotte also explains the treatment options available, including video interaction guidance and Circle of Security, and busts common myths about baby sleep. If you're worried about your bond with your baby, this conversation is a reassuring reminder that you are not alone. #InfantMentalHealth #Attachment #ParentingSupport Learn more about Dr Charlotte Dunster-Page and her work here: https://www.borntobond.co.uk/about Highlights 00:00 Introduction 00:27 Quickfire round: can an infant have their own mental health? 02:15 Can a child have a different experience from their parent's? 03:14 Do you need to be a parent to work in infant mental health? 04:09 Infant mental health and care-experienced people 05:46 Why the first 1,001 days matter 07:38 Signs a parent or baby may need support 11:28 Bonding with a first baby vs a second baby 13:54 When birth and early days don't go to plan 17:59 Treatment options for parent-infant relationship difficulties 23:58 How Charlotte moved from forensic psychology to infant mental health 28:56 Conflicting parenting advice and baby sleep 31:23 Reducing shame and stigma around referrals for support 35:40 Why parents need a village 38:34 Exhaustion and self-compassion in early parenthood 39:30 Baby sleep myths 42:11 Practical tips for professionals and parents 44:17 Where to find Charlotte's work Watch the episode I mention with Dr Jade Redfern here: https://youtu.be/boRYKdPYZ2w Subscribe for More Psychology Insights!
