Adolfo Gomez Papì He is a pediatric neonatologist and develops his professional work in the Pediatrics Service of the Hospital Juan XIII of Tarragona, in addition to being a university professor and member of the Breastfeeding Committee of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics and the Training Group of the Initiative for Humanization of Assistance to Birth and breastfeeding. His extraordinary experience and training is now reflected in a book for families: "The power of caresses".
In this work, the Doctor Adolfo Gómez Papí defends the enormous importance of the emotional and instinctive ties of parents with their children and clearly explains that skin-to-skin contact, maintaining breastfeeding as much as possible and taking babies in arms when they request it, are essential for development Emotional and social of our children.
Babies' needs are very simple, physical contact, breastfeeding on demand, not letting them cry, taking them in their arms and accompanying them day and night.
And is that Gomez Papí He knows that our instinct tells us that a child who cries must be held in his arms and hugged, never let him cry, no matter how much inappropriate behavioral training habits crush us to lose skin-to-skin contact, put limits on demonstrations of affection or ideas as unsuitable as the one to be taught to sleep.
Defend breastfeeding without schedules or limits, natural upbringing and sleepless tears, all that helps form a bond of solid and mutual attachment and trust. Everything can be summed up in the beautiful title of this work that I recommend, "The power of caresses", recently published by Espasa Calpe.
