Meanwhile, your hands are my borders, they hold me and guide me in this world. Do not let me cry too much. I still don't understand the concept of time. I'll grow up slowly and teach myself about the feelings flowing inside.
The ability to sense and feel has evolved in me very early, long before I was born. In the early twenty weeks I could hear your voice and distinguish between your gentle voice and a thick lower one, probably belonging to my father. I could even distinguish when you were quiet and calm and when you were tense nervous. All the months I was in your womb, was like a lab for me, where I learned what's going to happen to me. And already then I knew that things are not always easy. i know you likes me and wants me, but you also have a bad mood sometimes. Do not worry, Mom! From than teaching laboratory in the womb, I know I can adapt the new conditions slowly.
They say that your job is to bring me all the information about what is happening in the world. Please, Mom, don't scare me with all the terrible things that happening in the world. And don't excite me too much with the great things that in it. In the meantime I'm able to understand only a small part of it. At this point I'm full of feelings. I begin to differentiate between heat and cold, dark and light, loud noise and soft music, Pleasant and unpleasant. I depended on you to sort for me the external stimulation following the same interpretation for me. When i slowly, grow up, I will know how to do it myself.
For me, actually, It's just me existing, and you are a part of me. For me, to exist means to be with you. hold me in your arms, I'm sure you can do it, don't let everyone hold me, At least in the first days. There are people that i don't like to be in their hands. In yours I always feel good.
I would like you to Keep breast-feeding me, if you can. It will be OK even if you feed me with a bottle, as long as you hold me and give me all the attention. Do not look on TV at that same time, do not talk on the phone, just be with me.
If you give me all I asked here in the first few weeks, It doesn't mean that I am a spoiled baby. that's the way I build the basis for my mental health, my happiness, my inner confidence.
Your treatment, your sacrifice, your touch is very important for me to build all of these.
Love, your baby
