There are three special moments that a mom will always remember with her precious baby. The first is touching the soft skin of her child and holding them for the first time; the second is feeding her baby for the first time, and the third is changing their diaper and dressing them up for the first time.
These bridges between a mother and her child might seem simple, but they are truly magical. They provide the baby with comfort, security, and the utmost care.
When your baby is born, doctors and midwives will suggest having skin-to-skin contact with your baby.

This is known as “kangaroo care,” a very useful way to give your baby a feeling of protection, warmth, and comfort. This special moment will be unforgettable for both you and your baby. You can gently stroke every part of your baby’s body, hold their little hand, and caress their back.

From the very beginning, every touch you give your baby will let them know they’re safe with you, even in a world full of new things. The moments when a mother first holds her newborn are special and unforgettable.

Touching the soft skin of the baby for the first time, holding them close, cuddling them, and changing their diapers might seem easy, but they make a special bond between the mother and her baby, giving them a feeling of safety and love.

In the first few days after being born, a baby’s eyesight isn’t fully developed yet. But they can still smell and feel things very well. They can recognize their mother by her smell and the scent of breast milk. Also, they can feel when their mother touches them gently. When the mother touches the baby’s skin, they can stop crying and quickly fall asleep.

Breastfeeding is something natural, but it can be difficult, especially at the start. To make it easier, moms can go to classes before the baby is born, read articles and watch videos, ask doctors and nurses for advice, and try to breastfeed the baby as soon as they’re born.

It’s important to remember that even if the baby gets only a little milk during the first few feedings, the mother’s body will produce more milk as the baby nurses more frequently.
When breastfeeding in the early days, unless the mother has a health issue and is advised by a doctor to express milk for the baby to drink with a spoon, it is recommended that the mother breastfeeds the baby directly from her breast.
This is because not only is breast milk the best source of nutrition, but also the early skin-to-skin contact when the baby searches for the breast and touches the mother’s chest can be very beneficial for both the mother and the baby. There is nothing quite like the feeling of protection and comfort a baby feels when snuggled up against their mother while breastfeeding.
