demonstrated by the mother's and infant's eyes meeting in the same plane. To assess
for other attachment behaviors, continued observation of the new mother's
interactions with her infant (B) helps the nurse determine problems in attachment.
(A) may cause undue confusion, stress, or impact the mother's self-confidence. (C)
