Brazelton Touchpoints Training: Newborn
Behavioral Observations (NBO)

March 21-22, 2020
9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

The Newborn Behavioral Observations system (NBO) is an infant-focused, family-centered relationship-based tool, designed to sensitize parents to their baby's competencies and individuality, in order to foster positive parent-infant interactions and thus contribute to the development of a positive parent-infant relationship from the very beginning (Nugent, Keefer, Minear, Johnson & Blanchard, 2007).

The NBO system consists of a set of 18 neurobehavioral observations, which describe the newborn's capacities and behavioral adaptation from birth to the third month of life.

The NBO was designed to meet the needs of pediatric professionals who want a more relational or family-centered model of care to replace the traditional pathology-seeking biomedical model of care (Brazelton and Cramer, 1990; Stewart et. al. 1995). It is flexible and can easily integrated into hospital, clinical or home visits.
