Use a position that Baby enjoys. Some need a little space, while others feel secure only when held close. Bend at the knees, not the waist, when picking up something while holding your infant. Hold your baby close to you when handing her to someone else. Let him slide his arms underneath her before you remove yours.
Smooth motions are best.
Wear your baby in a carrier while you're cooking, slicing vegetables, or engaging in other potentially risky activities. It's the natural process of becoming close to your baby. Much has been said about the importance of early bonding, but the fact is, you can start and continue it anytime. You'll have the opportunity to bond whenever you take care of your baby. Hold him skin to skin, look into his eyes, talk to him, carry him with you, and cuddle up with him every chance you get.
