73% of surveyed women say they received no information on bonding in first weeks after giving birth
More than one in 10 women struggle to bond with their baby, with the majority saying they are given no support from healthcare staff, a survey has found.
Nearly three-quarters (73%) of women said they received no information or advice on bonding with their baby in the first few weeks after birth, despite guidance for doctors and nurses recommending that they assist with emotional attachment to encourage healthy child development.
