35+ Heartwarming Photos Celebrating the Sacred Bond Between Mother and Child
There are three moments that a mother will find hard to forget with her precious baby. The first is touching the delicate skin of her child, holding them in her arms for the first time; the second is the first time she breastfeeds her baby, and the third is changing their diaper and dressing them for the first time.
They may seem simple, but they are magical bridges between mother and child, providing a sense of comfort, security, and utmost comfort to the baby.
Hello, mommy, right after your baby is born, doctors and midwives will encourage you to have skin-to-skin contact with your baby. This is known as “kangaroo care,” a very useful way to provide your baby with a feeling of protection, warmth, and comfort. This precious moment will be unforgettable for both you and your baby. You can gently stroke every part of your baby’s body, hold their little hand, caress their back…
Every touch right from the start will help your baby clearly feel your gentle protection, making them feel secure and comfortable in a world full of unfamiliar things.
The first moments between a mother and her newborn are precious and unforgettable.
The first time touching the soft skin of the baby, holding them close, nursing them, and changing their diapers may seem simple, but they create a miraculous connection between the mother and her baby, providing them with a sense of comfort and security.
In the first few days of life, a baby’s vision is not yet fully developed, but their sense of smell and touch are sensitive enough to recognize their mother. The baby can sense the mother’s body odor and the smell of breast milk, and they can feel her gentle touch. When the mother touches the baby’s skin, they can stop crying and fall asleep immediately.
Breastfeeding is a natural process but it can be challenging, especially in the beginning. To make the first breastfeeding experience smoother, the mother can attend prenatal classes, read articles and watch videos, ask doctors and nurses for advice, and try to breastfeed the baby as soon as possible after birth.
It’s important to remember that even if the baby gets only a little milk during the first few feedings, the mother’s body will produce more milk as the baby nurses more frequently.
When breastfeeding in the early days, unless the mother has a health issue and is advised by a doctor to express milk for the baby to drink with a spoon, it is recommended that the mother breastfeeds the baby directly from her breast.
This is because not only is breast milk the best source of nutrition, but also the early skin-to-skin contact when the baby searches for the breast and touches the mother’s chest can be very beneficial for both the mother and the baby. There is nothing quite like the feeling of protection and comfort a baby feels when snuggled up against their mother while breastfeeding.
