During feeding, hold your baby close to your chest. This provides closeness and comfort.
The caregiver can continue to strengthen attachments by being more intentional in providing skin-to-skin contact. For example, holding the baby in your arms instead of propping them on the sofa, sharing gazes and smiles and interacting with the baby in a soothing voice.
Tuning in to the uniqueness of a child's individuality during diapering by responding with sensitivity and encouragement in an unhurried manner sends a powerful message to children about their bodily functions.
