Lot’s of mums-to-be and new mums worry about bonding with their baby. But it takes time for you both to get to know each other, and newborn babies aren’t always as responsive as you’d expect. Don’t worry; you’re doing a great job and your relationship with your baby is growing stronger every day. Just make sure you make time for plenty of cuddles and your bond will build naturally. But if you still have questions, all you have to do is ask.

Stay close to help bond with your baby


Your baby loves being close to you, so move their arms and legs gently and continue to use massage as you did in the first few weeks. Holding your baby close during feeding, picking them up and rocking them gently will make them feel loved and help strengthen the emotional bond between you.

Did you know?

Touch is the only sense that gives your baby three things they need. It provides a sense of safety and security, gets them involved with the world around them and is a way that you can communicate with them and they can respond to you. As if you needed an excuse for more cuddles!
