Your relationship with your baby is the way that you feel close and connected to them. For some parents and carers, this may happen in pregnancy or soon after birth. For others, it can take some time for a bond to grow. This is OK and every parent or carer will bond at their own pace.
Building a secure relationship with your baby will help them develop into a happy and healthy child. It will also help them manage their emotions, develop confidence, and learn new things.
