Nursing units can be designed with policies that promote family bonding.Some activities that promote attachment include providing time in the first few hours after birth for privacy and time for the new family to get to know each other; delaying noncritical actions during the first few hours of life; teaching,encouraging,and supporting breastfeeding; and providing continuity of care through models of nursing such as primary care.Having a designated discharge teaching nurse will facilitate consistent teaching but is not as important in promoting attachment and bonding.
