Do babies have an attachment to their parents immediately after birth?

Back

No -

• Bonding (Parent-to-Child): This is the intense emotional tie that parents feel toward their infant. For some parents, this is immediate; for others, it can take days or weeks of caregiving to develop.

• Attachment (Child-to-Parent): This is the relationship the baby builds with the caregiver over time. It relies on the caregiver's consistent responsiveness to the baby's needs

• Having a security object is not a sign of insecurity or a lack of parental bonding. In fact, children with these objects may adjust more easily to stressful new environments, like starting daycare.
