Babies information receptors are completely primal. They know senses.
They tend to be much more familiar with their mothers smell, touch
and feel because they are often held against their mothers bare skin.
They are feel, smell and taste their mom, making them closer to her.
A great way to bond with your baby and to get him/her familiar with
you-your smell, touch and feel is to hold your baby
skin to skin. Take off your shirt and hold that little warm body right
up against your chest. There are probably very few people in your life
that you can hold so intimately. The more your baby knows you, the sooner
it will feel comforted by you. Also the more familiar you will be with your
child's the sooner you will be able to comfort the little one and anticipate his
or her needs.
