Feedback
A This statement is accurate.
B The formerly accepted definition of bonding held that the period immediately after birth was a critical time for bonding to occur. Research since has indicated that parent-infant attachment occurs over time. A delay does not inhibit the process.
C Parent-infant attachment involves activities such as touching, holding, and gaz-ing; it is not exclusively eye contact.
D This response is inappropriate because it is derogatory and belittling.
