A: Good parents should know that children need love. From the moment a baby is born, she needs love from her parents. That love is given in the form of holding, cuddling and nurturing.
Parental love is vital for a baby to grow and develop. Without this love, a baby will progress much more slowly

Babies need attention from their parents. Tending to only physical needs is not enough. Babies need interaction with their parents.
Most parents understand the physical needs of their babies. They know babies must be fed, clothed and sheltered. Parents might not know that babies also must be cuddled and held. Babies must hear the voices of their parents.
During the middle part of the 20th century, many people believed babies should not be held. They thought babies should be left in their cribs, or they would be "spoiled."
This is far from the truth. We now know that babies grow and develop from being held and cuddled. Rocking and cuddling babies help them grow physically and mentally. Hospitals now use volunteers to cuddle and rock babies who are going to be hospitalized for a long time. Pediatricians have learned that babies will not thrive unless they are loved.
