Interventions to support responsive caregiving during the postnatal period should focus on promoting positive interactions and strengthening the caregiver/infant relationship.
Health care workers should encourage mothers, fathers, and other caregivers to be aware and responsive, responding to the child's needs, cues, clues, behaviors, and desires.
It is important to encourage caregivers to develop skills in the contexts of play, communication and feeding, such as breastfeeding on demand.
Responsive caregiving implies having an anticipatory attitude about the child's own safety, education, development and the establishment of a caring and understanding relationship.
All infants and children should receive sensitive care, especially between 0 and 3 years of age
