Parenting

Parenting is not something that comes in a instruction manual when the baby is born, so we all have to learn practicing of being parents.
Every child goes through different phases in which they are possessive, and ego tested, wanting to be the centre of attention of their mothers. Sometimes, even causing subtle jealousy in the father, because he feels excluded.

What to do when the baby is to close to the mother?
The father must get the atention of the baby showing a very special feeling: his great love for the mother.
The father must not rush the conection with the baby, instead try to find the time and space to create a union with his child.
Remember that during the first two or three years of your baby's life, the little one feels very close to the mother, they feel totally dependent on her, even when they would like to have independency.
The mother has a biological relation with her baby, who begins during the pregnancy and that stays in the first months.
