Do you look forward to the milestones in your own child’s life?
According to CNN, the first is crawling.
That’s a milestone to look forward to.
Childhood Changes
If the emotional closeness of breastfeeding and the connection to the mother in the mother-child relationship were all you needed for a healthy childhood, breastfeeding would still be appropriate. But a mother’s emotional attachment, her guidance and her emotional availability are all crucial to healthy child development.
A baby’s desire for human connection should be encouraged and fostered. But human interaction alone may not be enough. The outcome of human interaction might be determined by factors unrelated to the mother’s love and connection to the child.
The attachment between a mother and her child, on the other hand, has nothing to do with the mother’s love. Although no mother has the capacity to love her child with all of her heart forever, even those who are broken by the helplessness of their situation have the capacity to be loving.
In addition to the emotional closeness of breastfeeding and the attachment to the mother, there are several physical milestones you should be looking forward to.
