There are many ways that you can bond with your baby, including:

  • Skin-to-skin contact
  • Breastfeeding if you can
  • Cuddling
  • Talking and singing
  • Giving lots of attention!

 

One of the best ways to bond with your baby is to have skin-to-skin contact, especially when they’re very little. One way to do that is to hold your baby against your bare chest while you feed them. Another way is to cuddle with them.

Bonding can improve mental health for both you and your baby. This helps with your baby’s emotional development.

Any parent do these things to help bond with their baby. They can help the non-birthing parent feel closer to the baby too.

Bonding is one way of sharing the wealth when it comes to your and your baby’s health!
