The bonding process is normal when a newborn is born. Some parents respond to newborn needs out obligation. Others may respond out of deep love. No matter the reason for the bonding, every baby and every parent is unique. It's also important to understand that there are no time limits to this process.
Relationships between mother/baby
The strongest bond between humans is the one between mother and child. It consists of a reciprocal relationship based on the release of hormones called oxytocin and dopamine. Certain maternal behaviors can increase the hormone levels, which creates a stronger bond between mother-child. This is known as the "bio-behavioral Feedback Loop" by researchers. These hormones work together to create a powerful bond between mother and child.
Bonding efforts
The bonding process between parents, their child and their baby is crucial. It is a natural process, and it can begin as soon after birth. It may also occur as a result of day-to-day caregiving. Parents may not be aware of how they bond with their baby until they first see their baby smile. Babies learn to trust their caregivers through touch and eye contact, and they develop a sense of self by watching and feeling their parents' attention.
Early signs of bonding
Your baby's development and health will depend on your close bond with him/her. Repetitive human contact stimulates your brain and assists in developing mental and physical abilities. Your baby will also benefit from bonding. Lack of bonding can cause problems for your baby's development. If you are concerned, consult your pediatrician.
Reactions to baby's cues
Being able to recognize and respond to your baby's cues will help you bond more with your child. Sometimes parents are unsure of their baby's needs or wants. But most babies have similar signals to communicate their needs. If your baby is bending their back, this could be a sign of heartburn or gastrointestinal reflux. Even though babies cannot express their feelings verbally, they are capable of communicating many emotions, like hunger or tiredness.
Responding to baby's needs
Responding to your baby's cries and cues is one of the most important ways to bond with your baby. Not only will it help you build trust, but it will also help your baby develop social skills and communicate with you. Listen to your baby's cries, even if you don't understand what they are saying. It is important to take time to yourself to let go of your frustrations during bonding.
Activities to promote early bonding
It is the best time to bond with your baby in its early days. According to a University of Iowa study, close bonding between parents and children is good for both. Strong parental bonds make it less likely that children will experience emotional difficulties when they reach school age. However, children with weak parental bonds are more likely experience anxiety, depression and detachment issues later on in life.
