Subject: Bonding

I believe that bonding is a very necessary component in human development.Bonding is a process by which infants form a connection with someone.Whether or not that someone has to be the child's biological parent is uncertain to me. I feel that it is important that the child is held, touched, fed, and loved after birth and throughout the lifespan. Bonding does not have to begin immediately after the birthing process,because for some mothers this is a very overwhelming time. Furthermore, situations and circumstances may sometimes arise which prevent mother-infant bonding. Does this mean that the infant will experience developmental delays? I would think not. Nevertheless, the outside world can be a very strange place to a newborn infant;closeness,bonding,and making a connection with the infant would provide him with a strong sense of security.
