Embrace your children as quickly as they grow up

So far I'm used to getting surprise glances when I hold my son in my arms. What I'll never get used to is why they look at me strangely: they think a kid shouldn't be so attached to his mother. Perhaps some wonder that I have no money to buy [...]
And I wonder why this difficulty in embracing and keeping close? I often hear from other mothers who should not hold their children in their arms, we must teach them to sleep in their bed (for four months, not four), that they should weep to grow and strengthen their lungs, that they should not be satisfied, because otherwise the child is spoiled. He needs to be self-exultated with the bottle.
But what do you think will always be small? Or that he will always want to stay with his mother? You won't have this time to stay with him, because he'll already ask you for money to go to the movies to watch a movie with friends. When he grows up, you will seek his attention and perfection. Then enjoy the moment as much as you can, now that it's small, now that it needs your arms, because he needs contact.
I read that parents who have difficulty embracing their children are constantly neglected and I think it's right. Most mothers like me have grown up in carts, circles, tall chairs in short words, with everything but their mother's arms. Those wings are the only thing that can really comfort them, calm them down, and eventually make them safe and independent!
Love your child anytime, not a little at a time.
Do not be afraid to show love. The more he receives from you the more he will be able to express it when he grows up, the more loving and capable of expressing his feelings will be. And if dozens of studies do not convince you (shown the connection between the presence of a safe and effective basis and the child's greater independence as an adult. Contrary to what one might think, raising a child with high contact makes him stronger, more secure, and uneasy.
Take your time, the house can wait, the disorder won't go away, keep quiet, lie down with your child at your side and think of some of Paradise here on earth. Admit your face, his perfect little hands and you lose yourself in that innocent sight. In that small body of several pounds, you all find the purity of this world. The purest being in your home is without a shadow, the closest to angels and to the Lord. When you breastfeed it or watch it sleep let yourself be lost in a beautiful meditation on the mysteries of joy. Give him a hug. Keep tight in your chest, smell it, that wonderful smell.
Anything else can wait, your child can't.
