Bonding with Babies

The sun, the earth, love, friends, our very breath are parts of the banquet.
Rebecca H. Davis

In her article, "Bonding with Your Babies," one of the articles in the Exchange Essential: Friendship, Alice Honig makes this observation...

"Babies flourish with loving caregivers. So the first and foremost emotional neediness of a baby is for YOU to become intimately engaged with the baby. Sure, you will hold and cuddle. Sure, you will respond to infant distress. But the essence of quality infant caregiving lies in the emotional bond you forge with each infant.

"Unlike adults, babies happily cope if they have more than one love partner in the duet of caring! Not only parents and grandparents, but child care personnel can serve as intimate partners in babies' lives. Finding your way to create a love affair with each infant will take emotional skillfulness and a willingness to become a pleasuring and pleasured partner."
