The bond between parent and baby is one like no other. For some, the bond will be instantaneous from the moment your newborn is placed in your arms. For others, it can take some time for the bond to be established. As you and your baby fall into the rhythm of the ‘fourth trimester’ and get to know one another, that special bond will deepen. Thankfully, studies have shown specific ways to help establish and strengthen your bond and increase the likelihood of a secure attachment over the long-term.
