Bonding with 2 month old

[Goodnessrosee]

Hi netters! I have a 2 month old DD who is my world! I'd love any tips for bonding, I'm already breastfeeding and do skin to skin (any tips on how to incorporate more skin to skin into our day would be helpful). What did you do or know of that works for bonding? This time is so precious and going so fast, I don't want to look back and wish I'd done something else/more with her! Thankful for any advice!!

Baby massage classes are nice. DD used to love her massages before bed.

They like to hear your voice and see your face up close - so lots facing each other and singing. They don’t know what you’re saying so you can choose your own favourite songs for now, it doesn’t have to be nursery rhymes

@Rosesareyellow @SylvanasWindrunner thank both you! Very helpful
@SylvanasWindrunner any recommendations for online baby massage classes or YT by any chance?

Wearing baby in a sling. Mine loves it and is always so relaxed after a long walk where he was tucked in a stretchy wrap type carrier.

Having a bath with the baby, then you can do skin to skin after

Having baby nap on you

Dancing to your favourite music when holding your baby

@Dahlia5 great suggestions, thank you!

Carry her over your shoulder.

Take her for walks outside. When mine was two months old we started putting him in an upright stroller so that he could get a better view.

Tummy tickles.

Toys that play music when she presses a button.

Rub your nose against hers and make silly noises.

@seaborgium thank you! :D

Singing and dancing with my baby really cemented our bond, I think. It's really lovely.

@Bluejayway91 awww how lovely
