Psychotherapy literature provides a theoretical understanding of parent-infant attachment. This article will reflect upon the specific need to give thoughtful consideration to those infants admitted to the acute-care setting, such as neonatal and paediatric intensive care units, and the potential for this environment to affect infant development and the parent-infant relationship. Infant-directed singing, as described in this article, is an improvised form of vocal interaction that is specifically informed by an understanding of the musical parameters of pitch, rhythm, phrasing, timbre, register, dynamic, tempo and silence. This article will detail a theoretical understanding of using infant-directed singing to foster parent-infant interaction within the acute care environment. In particular, the potentially sensitive, reciprocal and engaging nature of infant-directed singing, coupled with its ability to promote and support maternal demonstrations of empathy, will be discussed with a view to the psychological and physical development of the hospitalised infant.
心理治疗文献提供了对母婴依恋的理论理解。本文将思考对入住急症护理机构（如新生儿重症监护病房和儿科重症监护病房）的婴儿给予深思熟虑的关注的特殊必要性，以及这种环境对婴儿发育和母婴关系的潜在影响。本文所述的针对婴儿的歌唱是一种即兴的声音互动形式，它特别基于对音高、节奏、乐句、音色、音域、力度、速度和休止等音乐参数的理解。本文将详细阐述关于在急症护理环境中使用针对婴儿的歌唱来促进母婴互动的理论理解。特别是，将讨论针对婴儿的歌唱潜在的敏感、互惠和引人入胜的性质，以及其促进和支持母亲同理心表现的能力，以期促进住院婴儿的心理和身体发育。
