Since her birth, babies need soft attention, which includes caresses and touch. Some doctors believe that the first 12 hours after birth is a very important moment. They say that what is needed and most wanted by mother and baby immediately after birth is "not sleep or eat, but caress and embrace and look at each other and listen". *
Instinctively, parents seek to grab, cradle, stroke, and embrace their baby. Furthermore, the baby becomes very attached to his or her parents and reacts to their attention. This linkage power is so strong that parents want to make sacrifices to care for the baby tirelessly.
