Health Tip: Bonding With Your Infant
It's a key part of baby's development
Wednesday, July 4, 2012
Bonding provides the infant with initial exposure to intimacy and helps foster the infant's self-esteem, the Foundation says.
Here are the Foundation's suggestions for new parents to promote bonding with their infants:
- Provide soothing touch and skin-to-skin contact.
- Engage in eye-to eye contact with baby at close range.
- Move an object back and forth in front of baby's face.
- Make lots of faces and gestures for your baby to watch, learn and mimic.
- Talk to your baby frequently to foster a familiarity with your voice.
