Looking into each other's eyes for calm and connection
Your baby has been listening to you since before they were born and has been eager to interact with you! You will probably have noticed this interest as they look at and move in response to the people around them, and now you might notice that they look at you and make eye contact when you hold them for a feed. Your baby may look at you before or just after a feed, but while they are feeding they might also close their eyes or turn towards the breast or bottle.
