My baby’s secure attachment

My baby’s secure attachment

Attachment is the emotional bond between children and the special people in their lives. Your child will grow to trust and feel secure in their world when they feel connected to a parent or caregiver.  

Secure attachment is built when you nurture and care for your child and have regular, predictable daily routines. You are building trust as you respond promptly to your child’s needs, using a gentle touch and showing you care. Whether you are feeding, playing, talking, or rocking your baby to sleep, you are developing a bond. This helps them feel safe and secure.
