Early mother infant bonding linked to longer attachment
At Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland two pediatricians Dr. Marshall Klaus and Dr. John Kennell argue that immediate and extended mother infant contact after birth strengthens bonding. Their studies show greater affection and verbal interaction from mothers in the first hours and days, with potential benefits for later development. They advocate family centered childbirth and minimal nursery separation, even suggesting contact within 10 to 40 minutes after cesarean delivery.
