Status Updates From The Baby Bond: The New Scie...

nedaudz pasausa tā valoda. Gribētos, lai būtu vairāk padomu un atbilžu uz jautājumiem, kā piemēram, "cik ilgi mans bērns dzīvos man pa rokām?" :D

ļoti interesants zinātnisko pētījumu apkopojums par piesaisti un tās veidošanos mazos bērnos un vecākos, kā arī par tās trūkuma sekām

i can only take a bit of this at a time, even though it is getting much better. chapter 4 was the best - about co-sleeping basically. chapter 5 is about IQ, which i'm less interested in.

awww and true!: "Parents notice that baby finds a way to keep at least one foot in contact with at least one adult at all times during the night—revealing the child’s constant innate need for security throughout the night and his constant awareness of his parents’ presence."

yes: "Breastfeeding is meant to be much more than just feeding—it is a time for nursing, a time to provide comfort and nurturing. This time is allotted for studying and memorizing each other’s faces, for speaking or singing to the baby, and for developing nonverbal communications. "

ah, better and better. "We must remember that infants may simply be crying to be heard—to express their feelings—even though they may not be able to reveal the source of their upset. It is advised that not all crying needs to be “fixed.” When a child is apparently not hungry or in pain, but cannot be mollified with simple comforting, what they may need is simply an empathetic “I hear ya.” Be there for them...

"Apparently, infants are able to develop confidence in themselves and their environment when they are able to obtain what they need through their communication attempts. By contrast, delayed response creates a sense of helplessness." -- makes absolute sense to me.

"In fact, one study found that responsive treat- ment led to 2 minutes of crying during the first 3 hours of life, compared to over 18 times that amount in infants treated by the culturally accepted hospital routine.10 Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that the “normal” new- born American infant is crying from sudden abandonment.
