Love On Her
Love your baby. Unconditional love is one of the greatest gifts you can give her. If she truly feels loved and appreciated just for being who she is, she will develop a sense of self-value, a sense that she is worthwhile.

Look at Her
Make eye contact. Look right into your baby's eyes when you feed her, change her diaper, and give her a bath. She'll be looking right back. It's a great way to connect and build trust.
