Promptly responding to the infant's crying helps to meet the infant's needs and provides them with a sense of security and trust that their caregiver will respond to their needs. Talking to the infant and having them sleep in the same room may also contribute to building trust, but they are not as essential as promptly responding to the infant's cries. The method of feeding (breastfeeding or bottle-feeding) does not directly affect trust development.
