Hi Linda,
Thanks for your reply! However, I'm not sure that I got the gist of my question across...I have two bio children who are still quite young and many many things that I've seen suggested (to foster attachment) are things that I do/did normally with my children. So when we bring our new baby home, how different should I expect it to be (with regard to doing things to develop attachment)...is it kind of like having a newborn at home? with responding to them quickly, having them close much of the time, gentle touching/massage, playing peekaboo etc.? Is it a much more concerted effort?
I can see a difference in that it would be me and hubby doing all of the care (diapers, feeding, holding etc.) at least initially and of course we wouldn't expect that our new baby would be doing the same things as our bio children at the same age.
HOpe this helps to explain what I'm really asking! Thanks!!
