Nurses can foster attachment in several ways,including encouraging parents to invite siblings and other family members to visit for short periods of time to avoid tiring the mother and overstimulating the baby.Of course sick people should not visit.Others can be recruited to feed the baby,and often relatives and close friends desire to do so.If all the visiting takes place when the baby is sleeping,the baby and the visitors cannot get to know each other.
