This may make the pauses longer and feeding time more pleasurable for both of you. Every baby deserves to be held for feeding. Communication and closeness at feeding time are as important as the food. Diapering is another opportunity for you to interact with your baby many times a day. She will enjoy looking at something interesting and listening to your voice during diapering.
Bathing can be another important time for communication.
Many babies do not like to be undressed. You can swaddle your baby in a cloth diaper or hand towel after he is undressed to help him feel safe. Then lower him into a warm tub, holding his head up with one hand. The diaper or towel can then be taken off. Reciting Nursery Rhymes can serve two purposes.
