Your baby’s brain
Feeding is about more than just nutrition
It’s a time for bonding, comfort, and connection
Responding to your baby’s hunger cues helps to grow strong connections in their brain telling them they are safe and loved
When you give your baby milk, start solid foods, or share a meal, you’re doing more than feeding them. You’re helping your bond grow stronger. Each time you feed your baby, they learn to connect your touch, your face, and your voice with feeling safe and cared for.
