After so many months you are able to touch and care for that tiny person who grew inside you. The strains and pains of birth may be almost forgotten as you hold your infant. You and your baby began building a relationship long before the delivery. Now that your child is born, the two of you will begin to grow even closer in the coming years. Mothers and their babies grow close in different ways.
Some new mothers feel love for their new baby almost immediately.
Many mothers are surprised to find that they must learn to love their baby. Hold your baby. Look into your baby's eyes. Touch your baby's skin. Talk to your baby.
