Читать книгу First-Time Parent: The honest guide to coping brilliantly and staying sane in your baby’s first year - Lucy Atkins - Страница 39

Studies have shown that skin-to-skin contact is important for parents and babies alike–it can help you bond with your baby and can help establish breastfeeding. Don’t be afraid to open the poppers of her Babygro and put her against your chest (dads too) to calm her down if she’s yelling. Many newborns will only be content when cuddled close (if she can hear your heart beat she may be calmer), so don’t feel she needs to be in that Perspex cot.

For everything you need to know about breast- or bottle-feeding from the first feed onwards, turn to Chapter Six.
