Why Is a Mother-Child Bond So Special

The Miracle of Life nurtured by â woman who gave us love and sacrifice…MOTHER

The mother-child bonding is strongly cemented with mother’s love.I know most of you, including fathers and sons, can’t deny the bond between a mother and her child.

But do you know what makes this mother-child bonding so special? According to me, it’s a mother’s love for her child. Wouldn’t you agree?

Both physical and emotional factors influence the mother-child bonding process. “Antenatal bonding” – feeling connected to the unborn baby is an important predictor of the infant-mother relationship.

Your baby learns:

* What you sound like

* What you look like

* What you smell like

* You feed him when he's hungry

* You comfort him when he's upset

* You sometimes get sad or distracted

* You're funny

* You exist even when he can't see you

* The cuddle connection

* From smells to smiles

* The soothing solution

* Oxytocin

Production of oxytocin during lactation reduces stress

* Breastfeeding is also strongly believed to foster the bond, via touch, response and mutual gazing.

* To make sure your child grows up healthy and strong you take baby to the pediatrician for regular check-ups; vaccines.  But new research is showing that it strengthens your emotional bond with baby.

Mothers love and protection nurtures humanity. This Mother’s Day is a great opportunity for reflecting on a mother’s love for her child. With matchless comfort wishing you satisfied mother’s day!

This post is dedicated to my mother and to all you mothers out there -because YOU are special. And even if you aren’t a mother, I’m sure you can relate to it because you all have or had a mother.
