Which behavior by the mother is most likely to help the infant to develop trust?

A) Talking to the infant
B) Breastfeeding instead of bottle feeding
C) Promptly responding to the infant's crying
D) Having the infant sleep in the same room with the parent

Because the infant is totally dependent on the parents,quickly responding to his cries promotes attachment and trust.Although all options may promote attachment,they are not absolutely necessary in order for bonding to occur.Mother-infant attachment is complex and involves all senses-not simply hearing the mother talk to him.There are physical and emotional benefits to breastfeeding,but it is not necessary for mother-infant attachment.Sleeping in the same room may help the parent respond more quickly to the infant's needs but is not the basis for attachment.
