The First Hugs, the First Bonds
Welcome to one of the most touching phases of your life!
Welcome to one of the most touching phases of your life! Your baby has just arrived, and with it begins a unique journey full of emotions, discoveries, and challenges. From the very first month, you start to get to know your little one and realize how special this bond is, formed through touch, embrace, and eye contact.
Physical Development
During these first weeks, the baby’s body grows rapidly. You may notice it getting stronger each day—opening its arms, moving its legs, turning its head toward your voice. The sucking reflex is strong, and whether breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, every meal is a bonding moment.
Emotional Bonding
The baby feels safe through your care. Your voice, your gaze, your touch—all build a secure environment. It’s no coincidence that the baby relaxes in your arms or calms down when hearing your voice. The sense of safety and stability is the first crucial step in emotional development.
What You Can Do:
- Talk to your baby often. Even if it doesn’t understand words, it recognizes rhythm and tone.
- Keep it close. Skin-to-skin contact helps both you and the baby bond.
- Don’t worry about “bad” crying—it’s the baby’s way of communicating.
Every day is different, and yes, some may be tiring. But they are full of little miracles, and soon you’ll realize how quickly your baby is growing.
