Summary

T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., internationally known for his research and supportive books on the first years of life, now takes on the myth of instant bonding. He shows that attachment to a new baby does not take place overnight. Early relationships between parents and newborn (and unborn) infants are both more complex and more rewarding than the popular notion of bonding suggests.
