Bonding
Bonding – the process of falling in love with your baby and vice versa – doesn’t always happen the moment your child is placed in your arms. And although it may not happen instantly, here are 5 ways to help you encourage bonding with the apple of your eye! 1. Reading stories in the bath or before bed is a lovely way to communicate to your bump before you actually meet him/her. 2. When you are nursing, take care to focus solely on your baby, staring into his eyes and ignoring the world around you. Make a point to find a quiet place. 3. Massage your baby, taking pleasure in how soft her skin is, and how much enjoyment she gets from your touch. 4. Explore your baby’s sense of humor. Pregnancy Journey customer, Lisa Martinez says, “My 3 month-old baby loves it when I blow raspberries at him. He tries copying me and we connect by making funny noises together!” 5. Sing rhymes and read storybooks from birth. Regardless of what you think of your voice, your newborn will take great comfort in hearing your special sound.
