[quote=Anonymous]For the poster who asked: Dr. Marshall Klaus was a neonatologist who wrote the book, "Maternal - Infant Bonding". "Contact between a mother and child in the first hours or even days of a baby's life heightens the mother's attachment to her child indefinitely. Those bonds develop in a "dance" that includes eye contact, facial expressions and the rhythmic sound of speech. Such intimacy increases the likelihood of breast feeding, enhances the child's development and even reduces the potential for child abuse and neglect." "These findings prompted many hospitals to allow and even encourage parents to have more contact with normal and premature babies immediately after they are born, rather than isolating infants in nurseries and incubators, and to focus more on the mother's care and comfort." -New York Times, August 25, 2017[/quote]
