Your newborn baby has no sense of self, and for the baby the two of you are one. The mother-baby dyad means ensuring that both of you are comfortable, safe, and in tune with one another.
➜ Skin-to-skin contact is a powerful way to enhance the mother-baby bond, as it releases hormones that help regulate your baby’s temperature, heart rate, and breathing while also promoting breastfeeding.
➜ Breastfeeding provides numerous benefits for both you and your baby, including strengthening your immune system, reducing the risk of postpartum depression, and aiding in the development of your baby’s digestive and nervous systems.
➜ Spending quality time with your baby and providing lots of love, attention, and nurturing is the foundation of a healthy and happy mother-baby relationship.
