The very first moments with baby
The bond that is created between the newborn and its mum, but also its dad, begins at birth, so take advantage of these first hours.
From birth, a baby recognizes his mother and from the first days, he is able to communicate with his parents in his own way. The affective relationships he has with them will be essential in his development. While pre-verbal communications have remained unrecognized for a long time, they are the essential condition for any form of child learning.
Exchanges from birth
From the first days of his life, the newborn is capable of responding and exchanging with his mother and father. His five senses allow him to experience a whole range of sensations and to use different communicative structures. Their social and affective relationships occupy a central place in the early phases of their development.
From birth, the newborn manifests a state of spirit and specific reactions. This set of innate tendencies constitute his temperament. So some babies cry a lot and get agitated, others, on the contrary, are calmer and remain silent while keeping their eyes open.
Then, it is from small daily gestures that the baby creates an image of reality and structures his experiences: the way his mother (or father) holds him in her arms, changes him, washes him, gives him the breast or the bottle.
How to promote the child mother bond?
A good relationship will depend on the availability of the mother and her sensitivity to the needs of the child. It therefore develops when the mother is present and able to establish areassuring emotional interaction and a real exchange with it. Do not overlook the importance of body contact, which is essential.
But this does not mean that you should devote all your time to your child, quite the contrary.
The role of the father
He plays an essential role as a separating third party, in particular.
Thus, his presence named by the mother allows the child to be aware that he was born of desire of two people and not only of the mother.
The ability of the latter to make room for the father of the child is a key factor in the construction of every human being.
Can we get tired of being a mother?
YES, it's normal to have this kind of feeling from time to time!
The mother is above all a human being< /strong>, with necessarily both a dark part and a light part.
Every mother has the right to experience anger, frustration, or other so-called "negative" feelings.
It's important to know that ambivalence is part of the bond and that all women experience this kind of thing. And de-dramatizing it allows you to feel less guilty.
Trust yourself!
