The Love That Grows
Bonding With Your Baby đ
From bump to baby, the bond is powerful
One of the most beautiful parts of pregnancy and parenthood is the love that begins before your baby even arrives. It’s a connection that grows in surprising ways – through little kicks, sleepy snuffles, and those quiet moments just the two of you share.
During Pregnancy đ€°
The first flutters: Those tiny movements can feel like your first secret conversation together.
Talking and singing: Your baby can hear your voice before they’re born – chatting, humming, or singing helps strengthen that bond.
Daydreams of the future: Wondering what they’ll look like, or picturing your first cuddle, is all part of the love story beginning.
When Baby Arrives đ¶
Skin-to-skin: Those first cuddles release oxytocin, the “love hormone,” helping you both feel safe and calm.
The way they know you: Your baby recognises your voice, your smell, your heartbeat – you’re already their favourite person.
Everyday love: Whether it’s feeding, rocking them to sleep, or those little smiles, love grows in the small daily moments.
Remember đ
Every bond is unique. Some parents feel it instantly, for others it builds gently over time – both are completely normal. Love grows in its own way, and your baby will feel it no matter how it looks.
