Abstract
High-quality maternal-infant interaction is essential to promote the optimal growth and development of children. The role of the nurse in providing assessment, interventions, and guidance to mothers of infants from birth to 1 year of age is vital to enhance maternal-infant interactions. In this article, we highlight the significance of maternal-infant interaction and examine challenges families face in developing high-quality maternal-infant interaction. Evidence-based recommendations for health and social policies for nursing and clinical practice are provided to mitigate challenges to the development of maternal-infant interaction.
