THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BOND BETWEEN FATHER AND BABY

Turkey Medicals member and hospital department Child Psychiatry Specialist Dr. said that the bond between father and baby has a great impact on the spiritual development of the baby.

Child Psychiatrist says that the vast majority of research on infant mental health for many years has been made up of those associated with the mother, and the role of the father has been ignored. Child Psychiatrist gave information about the effect of fathers on the spiritual development of the baby.

The importance of the father and baby relationship is addressed by Child Psychiatrist,“Although the role of the father has been ignored, we now know that the impact of the father on the mental health of the baby is at least as important as the role of the mother. We should also know that fathers who are 1-0 behind the mother in terms of time and hormonal changes should exert more effort in this important role. First, we need to look at the role of the father on the mental health of the baby through the role of the supporting actor, that is, the father’s contribution to the mental health of the mother. At this point, the process of pregnancy from the mother of the father, the support of the relationship between the parents to be satisfactory, good communication and love between them are critical for healthy development of the baby’s mental and cognitive presence. Secondly, the role of the father as the lead actor, that is, his one-on-one relationship with the baby, should be observed. Although it is now known that there are some hormonal changes in fathers along with the pregnancy process today, the release of the main hormones that ensure the formation of a father-baby relationship is in the postpartum period.

The more time the father spends with his baby during this period, the more hormones are secreted if they meet the basic care needs of the baby, the healthier and stronger the attachment relationship becomes. Although attachment to the mother is often mentioned when talking about attachment, we know that a similar relationship can/should also be with the father, the first 2 years are critical for this relationship to occur,” she said.

THE FAMILY TRIANGLE SHOULD BE CREATED

Drawing attention to the fact that a healthy relationship with the father allows children to become more confident, sociable in the future, Turkish specialist doctor stated that:

“The father is the window to the outside world for the child. The formation of a loving and trusting family triangle also depends on the involvement of the father in the process. The attitude and behavior of mothers towards the father-baby relationship is one of the issues that should be paid attention to in this regard. From time to time, we witness that mothers often push the father away by making sentences such as ‘You can’t do it, he’s not done like that, you can’t do it’ due to anxiety. Fathers who are in a hormonally disadvantaged position can very easily stay out of the game with such critical rhetoric. And let’s not forget that the greatest harm from this will again be to the baby.”
