Family Tips

Bonding, perhaps, is one of the most pleasurable aspects of baby care. Physical closeness to a child develops an emotional connection.
For infants, the attachment is vital for their emotional growth, which also influences their development and physical growth. Children who don’t have a parent or any adult in their life who loves them without reserve potentially will have more problems in their own adult life.
If both parents hold and touch their baby frequently, the baby will soon know the difference between their touches. Each parent should try the opportunity to be “skin-to-skin” holding the newborn while feeding or cradling.
Babies, especially premature babies and those with medical problems strongly require attachments. Numerous researches have shown that “skin-to-skin” relations and massage help with infant digestion and growth.
Infants usually like vocal sounds - talking, babbling, singing, and cooing. Many babies also love listening to music. Baby rattles and musical mobiles are one more way to stimulate infant’s hearing. You should certainly try singing, reciting poetry and nursery rhymes, or reading aloud to your infant.
But be careful to keep noise and light levels moderate.
