mating preget av samspill


Definition from own experience or research:
Responsive feeding in English refers to feeding that happens following a cue from the baby. In Norwegian the most commonly used term in the same context is "samspill".

Samspill mellom foreldre og barn betyr at man er oppmerksomme på alle tegn barnet/babyen gir, og "svarer" på disse.

Example sentence(s):
  • Når du ammer, holder du barnet ditt tett inntil kroppen din. Du småprater med det og tar deg god tid. Barnet smiler mot deg, og du svarer ved å kile det litt, lage grimaser og lekende lyder. Dette fine samspillet knytter båndene mellom dere tettere, og det følelsesmessige repertoaret utvikles hos dere begge. - Babyverden
