We just attended the first class of a pre-natal course. The course is supposed to prepare you better to be a first time parent and know exactly what to do when the baby comes. J Sister C has 35 years of nursing experience behind her with 4 children, I supposed she knows what she’s talking about. One of the topics she spent more than 1 hour talking about is bonding with the baby.
Interestingly, bonding starts during the pre-natal period, around 5 month pregnancy onwards. During pregnancy, if you talk to the baby often enough, he will stop moving and start to pay attention whenever you speak. Sometimes he may respond to you too. Although he can’t understand you, he will remember because his brain is now developing and able to store memories. He will be able to recognize your voice and feel calm and secured even at the young age of 2-3 months old. This is what we have been trying to do, speak to the baby at least twice a day, morning to greet him good morning and good night before we go to sleep. And for me, trying to teach him the word “daddy” and hopefully that’s the first word coming out from him. ;0
