Abstract

          Adolescent mother-Infant interaction behaviors consist of 8 behaviors including 1) touch and tactile sense, 2) eye-to-eye contact, 3) voice, 4) odor, 5) body warmth, heat, 6) entrainment, 7) biorhythmicity, and 8) smiling (Baosoung, 1995). Mother-Infant interaction is the process of building mutual trust between the adolescent mother and the infant. The touches and interactions from the infant to the adolescent mother in the first hour after birth will promote the behavior of expressing love from the mother to her baby, resulting in more possibility for a successful initial period of breastfeeding that the mother would breastfeed for a longer period. Simultaneously, breastfeeding is a way to promote love and relationship between the adolescent mother and infant.
