Have You Bonded with Your Baby?
When you've read all of the parenting books in the world, one phrase will stick out in your mind like a very sore and very real thumb: Bonding with the baby.
Relax! Bonding is something that happens naturally between parent and child and isn't something you need to work toward. It occurs within the first few minutes of life and grows stronger as you and your baby get to know one another. As time goes on, you'll learn when your baby is happy or sad; when he wants to be fed; when he wants to be held. All of that will happen without your having to think about it.
Have you bonded with your baby? That question is easy enough to answer; all you have to do is look at your relationship with your baby. It might be difficult to tell during the first few weeks because it seems as though all he does is eat, sleep and poop, but bonding is already taking place. You're learning his biological clock, his smell, his facial expressions and his desires.
Most of the experts on baby-rearing all agree on one thing when it comes to bonding with your baby. It isn't about doing something specific or about spending a certain amount of time with your baby; it's about enjoyment. Your only job as a parent is to enjoy your baby and allow him to enjoy you. When you pick him up for a midnight feeding or rock him to sleep in your arms, you're naturally bonding with your baby.
If you're concerned about the bonding process, one of the best ways to reassure yourself is to start keeping a baby journal. Write down your reactions to all of your baby's firsts, such as the first time he smiles or the first time he grabs your thumb. It is also a good idea to write down those little things that only a parent can notice, such as the length of time it takes to burp him or the way he screams when you change his diaper.
It is also a good idea to observe the way your baby interacts with other adults as opposed to the way he interacts with you. Perhaps he doesn't cry as often in your arms or maybe he'll only take his bottle from you. Whatever the case, you don't have to ask yourself if you've bonded with your baby; you already have!
