Bowlby proposed that over the years a behaviour had been produced that is essential to the survival chances of infants.

Tronick et al (1992) studied an African family tribe where infants were fed by different women but slept with their own mother at night.

in stages is the theory of John Bowlby. Bowlby suggested that attachment progressed into 4 stages. One stage 1 pre-attachment (birth to 6 weeks)‚ infants have not develop attachments. A reason why this happens according to Bowlby is because infants at this age have not yet developed their visual discrimination; essential for identifying their primary caregivers. Babies at this stage do not mind being left with other unfamiliar adults‚ (Davis & Palladino‚ 2004; Bowlby‚ 1988).On stage 2‚ principles
