"I Love You"

Even in the first days of a child’s life, there is a noticeable difference between infants who have been hugged and touched by their mothers and those who have not. 5 Comments Posted
Such a beautiful, wise and uplifting article!

I remember when I had my twins back in the late 60's. One was 7lb, 15 oz and I ws given the opportunity to hold and bond with her every 4 hours; but the other twin was 4lb, 10 oz and kept 30 days in NICU. No holding, bonding, anything. When I brought them home, the little one screamed and went stiff when held. It took years for her to let me hold her. Even today, 42 years later, she doesn't like to be hugged.
So hug your children whenever you can. Thank Gd you can now hold /touch them when they are in the NICU.

I had a wonderful son who I adored with every breath in my body, as I did, and still do his sister. He grew up not from a Lubavitch family, and opted to go to Yeshiva when he was 16. My husband and I supported him throughout. He achieved Smicha (Rabbinical ordination) 4 years ago and we were so very proud. He then met his now wife, and got married, they thank G-d now have a baby of their own. We live in the UK and are completely ostrasized. We're only useful to buy and ship. There is no love and affection towards us. My husband hasn't spoken to his own son since before Pesach. He doesn't want to speak to me, only if he grants me permission!! He has told someone that when he speaks to me, his mother, he feels irritable, so his wife has said 'if that's the case, don't speak to your mother'. This is right? He sees a therapist, who tells him I, his mother, am the cause of his problems. That's right too? It's always easy to blame someone else.

I really appreciate this type of approach to nurturing a baby. I can remember (I lie not before G-d, exalted be He), I actually remember when I was a baby in diapers, hearing my mother tell my older sister to change my diaper. I do not know how old I was at that time, perhaps 18 mos., but I do remember and know that at that time, I could understand the English words, but could not speak sentences. I'll never forget how G-d allowed me to understand and hear speech when I was a baby. G-d is so amazing. This is how I learned to appreciate the knowledge of babies and children. My sister did not want to change my diaper and yelled at me... when I was a baby and could not form sentences.
