Subject: Bonding

In my opinion, bonding should begin immediately after birth. The mother and child have never been separated, and I don’t believe as soon as they are born is the right time for this to begin. Understandably, if there are conditions that prohibit this, such as a unhealthy mother or child then there should be separation so that proper medical attention can take place. I think that this immediate bonding is not only important for the child but for the mother as well. In most cases of birth, it can be a traumatic experience for a woman and I think to be able to hold the baby that she just delivered is a right. Though I do thoroughly believe that this bonding is important, I do not think that this few minutes of bonding determines the relationship for mother and child for there on out. Also, I do not think that the child’s life develops immediate stability or healthy relationships from this few minutes either. I think all this bonding takes time and love; however, I agree that it should begin immediately.
