Bonding with your baby is a process of loving and trusting. It depends on your actions. A parent or caregiver is drawn by instinct to respond to a baby’s needs. In turn, a baby responds. At first, a newborn will respond by calming, quieting, looking and accepting the caregivers touch or nourishment. As an infant gets older he or she will start to be more social and a reciprocal social interaction will begin. In response to a parent’s voice and words a two month old will start to coo, smile and give eye contact. At 4-6 months an infant is responding to a parent’s special “baby voice” by laughing, squealing and babbling. That’s why it is so important to talk to your baby alot. You don’t always have to be speaking close up and face-to-face. Babies will also enjoy hearing you talk to them while you’re in the same room. Just sing songs or narrating your activity as you go along. Another important aspect of nurturing a bond between parent and child is by holding, rocking, carrying or wearing your baby. Babies need to be close to their primary caregivers. Whether it’s mom, dad, sitter, grandparent, etc. babies need to security of being held alot. That’s why you can’t spoil a baby by holding him or her. Wearing your baby in a baby sling is ideal. Baby can hear and feel the rhythm of your breathing and heart beat when worn in a baby carrying sling. It’s also very convenient for the babywearer. Bonding with your baby is a beautiful process. These measures can really make a difference.
