Sumario:	The article reports a study on early maternal care and how breastfeeding is associated with close contact between a mother and infant. The study used the Coding Interactive Behavior (CIB) Manual to code mother–infant interactions and mother sensitivity, and the emotional response of mothers to own baby-cry stimuli was recorded using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The study concluded that breastfeeding leads to greater maternal–infant bonding and empathy during the early postpartum. Results of the study and its analysis are also discussed in great detail.
