B. Psychological Care

1) This is the time for bonding and attachment between parents and baby. As you are meeting the needs of the infant (food, comfort, safety, affection), the emotional bond of trust is strengthened between you, and adversely, if the basic needs of infant are often not met, this bond is hindered.

2) From the time the infant is born, it begins to learn. Everything it feels, smells, sees, and hears is integrated into its being, be it good or bad. Even the most basic of activities is a learning experience and promotes development of the infant. The more stimulation he or she receives, the more she or he learns.
