Maternal and Infant Bonding: A Concept Analysis | Chapter 1 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 6

 Maternal-infant bonding is a maternal-driven strategy that occurs most frequently during a baby's first year of life, but it can happen at any moment during a child's life. The most essential indications of maternal baby bonding are a mother's affective state; maternal emotions and feelings toward the kid are the most crucial indicators. The first hour of a baby's life is critical for their development and the formation of a relationship between mother and kid.

The concept study's goal was to illustrate the importance of maternal-infant bonding, as well as the barriers to it and their repercussions.

The Walker and Avant concept analysis paradigm, which assesses attributes, antecedence and implications, exemplars, and recommendations, was employed.

It took a month and a half to complete the literature search, which includes bonding journals, PubMed and MEDLINE, as well as Google and Google Scholar. The description of mother and baby bonding contained twenty-four studies that were judged to be related to the subject of interest. The majority of the research emphasised the importance of maternal and baby bonding.

Preconception care is vital in the bonding process because it helps women to learn how to bond with their newborns before they get pregnant, rather than waiting until after the baby is born.

Recommendations and Conclusions: According to midwives and other health professionals, the majority of health education sessions should include maternal and child bonding.
