A
Encouraging mother to hold her infant face-to-face promotes maternal attachment behaviors and is referred to as an enface position. Keeping the infant snugly wrapped at all times does not promote maternal "taking in" through exploration of her neonate. Keeping the baby in the nursery so the mother can rest will help meet the mother's needs during "taking in," but does not foster maternal role attainment. Referring to the baby as "your son" comes much later in the maternal role attainment.
