Bonding With Your Baby

It is ‘’The Mommy’’ Connection! Wondering how love blossoms between you and your child? It sounds so pious and eternal in itself. Let’s talk about the divine connect which a mother and baby develop during these magical nine months of pregnancy. Yes it’s true that a mother and baby relationship is the foundation for your child to form a sense of security, self-esteem, faith, trust and individuality as the baby matures.

Well! Develop a ‘’Golden Channel of Communication’’ with your unborn which starts even before you feel the first flutter in your belly. How you understand what all is said and unsaid by your child? The answer is right in front of you!! It is right from the moment you conceive your child, the mamma and the baby form a special chord of connect.

Adorn your little one with so much ‘’love’’, ‘’positive vibrations’’ and ‘’soothing virtues’’ so that your child stays the happiest.

It’s simple!

Do a Heart-to-heart talk with your baby! Your Child –Is Your Best Friend- Right? Start talking to your baby while you are on the go. Share everything! Your thoughts on the Food You Eat! While Driving! Meeting Positive People! Serene Environment! About Your Day and Everything You Feel! Bonding is both with the mother and the father and also the surroundings in which the pregnancy is nurtured.

It’s time for you to experience a sense of peace and grace by filtering out all that you don’t wish to absorb by your mind and body.  Your every thought is becoming the base of the emotional diet of your baby who is absorbing each and everything emotionally.

Is your womb a sacred place? Yes it is! Close your eyes and fantasize about your baby. Perceive yourself embracing and loving your little one as he/she is born.  Music? Oh Yes Music!! While driving or at home play some of your favorite tunes and songs. As the baby grows up- relive the moment with your baby shaking a leg or humming certain tunes which you played quite frequently.

You can display ultrasound pictures, baby’s collage, and sketches and you can put all that you imagine about your baby in a pictorial form. Softly touching your belly releases calming hormones while you enjoy your baby fluttering inside the womb.

Evoke the sense of joy every day, live, laugh, feel blessed and appreciate life throughout this journey of motherhood.

 

Bonding With Your Unborn Child

Creating a Physical Body

Parents provide the immediate physical environment which will determine whether the baby’s equipment for living will be poor, average, or optimal. Science has only slowly found the connection between deficiencies of folic acid (one of the B vitamins) and the profound malformations of anencephaly and spina bifida, defects which occur when the neural tube fails to close 18 to 26 days after conception. Sub-optimal nutrition, one of the factors behind the plague of low-weight babies, means shortages of essential supplies during brain construction resulting in a sub-optimal brain. Hormonal deficiencies, excesses, and imbalances effect both the genes and the environment that ultimately determine identity and orientation–all this before the baby is born.

Creating Emotional Foundations

One of the biggest surprises about life in the womb is the extent of emotional involvement and expression, generally not anticipated in psychology or medicine. Spontaneous and graceful movement that can now be observed from about 10 weeks after conception reveals self-expression and early aspects of self-control, needs and interests. As it is with the establishment of physical settings in utero, the emotional system is also organizing itself in relation to the range and varieties of experiences encountered. A baby surrounded with anger, fear, and anxiety will be adjusting itself to that world and may carry those settings forward unless something changes. Parents are potent factors in shaping the dynamic world of the unborn.

Establishing a Rich Connection with the Prenate

Not long ago we thought it was impossible for prenates to have anNumerous experiments have made it clear that prenates who have the opportunity to hear stories and music repeated to them in utero can demonstrate recognition for this material later in lifey truly personal or significant experiences. We didn’t see that they could have a working mind. Babies are naturally curious and interactive.

These studies have proven what few believed decades ago:

(1) that babies in the womb are alert, aware, and attentive to activities involving voice, touch, and music;

(2) that babies benefit from these activities by forming stronger relationships with their parents and their parents with them, resulting in better attachments and better birthing experiences, and

(3) that these babies tend to show precocious development of speech, fine and gross motor performance, better emotional self- regulation, and better cognitive processing. These are the gifts and rewards of active parenting.
