When DD came to us she wasn't quite 5 months old. Our 1st "obstacle" was that she was used to feeding and holding her own bottle all by herself. It was a very slow transition until she would let me feed her and cuddle her in. We took it slow and never pushed her and eventually she came around.
We co slept for the 1st year also because that was what she was used to.
As a baby she liked it if I would fill my cheeks with air and hold her hands and make her pop my cheeks and blow the air out.
We share baths as well and she really likes the skin contact.
We make putting lotion on fun by giving her a small amount and she likes to reciprocate and rub it on my arm as I put it on her.
Peekaboo was a big hit also.
We did carry her around in a snugli but eventually switched to the stroller because it made her go to sleep right away
.
I think our homestudy agency gave us a handout on ideas and stuff we could do to facilitat attachment. My biggest advice is to take the cues from your child and what will work for them.
