Loving Care

Loving Care is a series of four books for parents or guardians of children from birth to age 3. Each book gives information based on the age of your baby or young child.

Public Health provides these books for all families in New Brunswick. You may receive the first three during your prenatal clinic visits or at the hospital when you have your baby. You'll receive Loving Care: 1 to 3 Years when your child receives immunizations from Public Health. You can also see the books or print your own from the links below.

Each Loving Care book has a Support and Information section. This section provides contact details for provincial services and community resources.
