I'm not sure that I'm bonding with my baby. Isn't this something that's supposed to happen automatically?

Bonding will come naturally between mother and baby, there is nothing to worry whether you underdo it. It can be in different forms: eye-to-eye contact, skin touches, gentle talks to baby, bathing, singing and etc. Breastfeeding is the best way to bond with baby, skin-to-skin touch and eye-to-eye contact during latching. Also, baby massage is a good way to bond with baby as the touches make baby feel very secure and comfortable.
