Questions nurse about the amount of formula her baby should be taking is characteristic of the "taking-hold" phase, as the mother begins to show more interest in participating in the neonate's care. Allowing staff to perform most of infant's care, hesitating to initiate contact with the baby, and requesting between-meal snacks take place normally during "taking-in."
