It is normal for newborns to bond with their parents. While some parents may respond to their newborn's needs out a sense of obligation, others may do it out of love. It doesn't matter what reason it may be, the bonding process for every baby is different for every parent. You should also know that this process does not have a time limit.
Relationships between mother & baby
The bond between mother and child is one of the strongest human bonds. It's a reciprocal bond that relies on the release of hormones dopamine (oxytocin) and oxytocin (dopamine). Certain maternal behaviors can increase both hormone levels and strengthen the attachment between mother and child. This phenomenon is called a "biobehavioral feedback loop". These hormones work together to create a powerful bond between mother and child.
Bonding efforts
The bonding process between parents, their child and their baby is crucial. It's a natural process that can start as soon as the baby is born. It can also be a side effect of daily caregiving. It's possible for parents to not see the baby's first smile and realize that they are building a relationship with their baby. Babies learn to trust caregivers through touch, eye contact, and by feeling and watching their parents' attention.
Signs of early bonding
The bond you have with your baby is crucial for his/her development and health. Repetitive human contact stimulates the brain and helps your baby develop mental and physical abilities. Bonding can also help your baby build trust and confidence. A lack of bonding could be detrimental to your baby’s development. If you are concerned, consult your pediatrician.
Reactions to the cues of your baby
It is possible to bond better with your baby if you know how to respond. Sometimes parents are unsure of their baby's needs or wants. But most babies have similar signals to communicate their needs. For instance, if your baby arches their back, it may be an indication of gastrointestinal reflux or heartburn. Babies cannot communicate verbally their needs but they can communicate many emotions like hunger and tiredness.
Responding to your baby's needs
It is important to respond to your baby's cues and cries. It will build trust between you and your baby. Listen to your baby's cries, even if you don't understand what they are saying. It is important to acknowledge your frustrations and take a break during this bonding time.
Activities that encourage early bonding
The early days of a baby's life offer the perfect opportunity to bond. Recent research from the University of Iowa has found that close bonds with both parents are beneficial for both of them. Children who are close to their parents are less likely have emotional problems as they approach school age. In contrast, children who are less close to their parents are more likely than others to have anxiety, depression, and other issues later in life.

It depends what you mean with "good." If you are referring to how children are treated, I would say yes. If you ask me if it's beneficial for them, then I would say yes. They need to be disciplined and firm at times. They won't learn how to behave well if they don't.
