Birth-6 months
The attachment years are a period of time in a child's life when s/he experiences a first real connection with another human being. The person the child attaches too is typically, but not necessarily, the child's mother.
Experts do not agree on which phase of the attachment years is the most important in a child's development. Some argue that the birth-6 month time period is the most crucial, while others argue that the 6 month - 12 month time period is the most important. It is probably safer to assume that the entire 12 months is a critical time for attachment.
