Harlow’s Monkeys Experiment: An experiment by Harry Harlow showing that baby monkeys preferred cloth surrogate mothers (providing contact comfort) over wire mothers providing food but no comfort. Like choosing cuddles over snacks!
Skin-to-Skin Contact (Kangaroo Care): A method of holding an infant so that there is skin-to-skin contact between the infant and the person holding them. It's like a warm, comforting hug that helps babies feel secure and loved.
Bonding: The intense attachment that develops between parents and their baby. Think of it as superglue - it creates a strong, lasting connection.
