A child is an invaluable treasure to its parents. The relationship between the mother and child starts before the birth of the child, and attains fullness with his/her growth. A beautiful relationship between the mother and the child helps him/her gain mental growth and skills along with enhancement of his/her immunity system. However, at times, mothers may show unconsciousness which might lead to a distance between them and their beloved children.

Here are five tips to help mothers firm their bond with their children after their birth.

Love before birth:

Since your child is growing little by little inside you, your feeling of love for his/her, even before seeing his/her is neither abnormal nor strange. Scientists have given a piece of surprising information that Oxytocin, a hormone, is grown in the brain as the date of delivery approaches. This hormone plays a certain role in creating relationship between the mother and the child.

Form relationship of love:

As the relationship between a mother and a child starts before the birth, try to build a bond of love instead of one of responsibilities. Play or gossip with your child and think like him/her. You will understand his likings, disliking, feelings of good and bad.

Try to understand indications made by your child:

As different children deliver different indications, it is not that easy to understand them. Try and find out the way your child expresses himself/herself. Find out if your child becomes glad or flings hands/legs seeing you. With hunger, a child makes cry with sharp voice, which may be different from cries at other times. Find out what he likes; being in your lap or walking with you. Repeat actions that he/she likes. It will strengthen your bond with him/her.

Speak, laugh and play:

Your voice and body language will distinguish you from others to your child and make him familiar with your entity. So, speak to your child, play or make fun with him, regardless of his/her age.

Feed your baby yourself:

Working women often have others take the responsibility of feeding babies. However, a mother can get closest to her child while feeding or making him/her sleep. So, have time and do this yourself.
