Admiring Mom

Moms will notice that when a baby sucks on their breast, the baby tends to gaze into their eyes; that is how the baby expresses love for their mom from a very early age. By staring unblinkingly at their mom, the baby is trying to understand and explore their mom. Staring intently at their mom is also one of the signs that the mom is attracting the baby, the mom is incredibly special to the baby.

Experts share that newborns cannot see anything too far away, the baby’s vision is limited to the distance with their mom’s face when they are breastfeeding. Therefore, the baby will always try to turn back to their mom’s face and gaze intently at the main features of their mom’s face such as the eyes, nose, and mouth; then the baby will try to mimic their mom’s facial expressions. So if mom sees the baby staring intently at her face, she should smile and talk to the baby to make the baby feel closer.

Listening to Mom’s Voice

Did you know that babies can hear sounds from 20 weeks of pregnancy? At that time, whenever they hear their mom’s voice, the baby’s heart rate will slow down because the baby is trying to listen to their mom’s voice. Although the baby is still in the womb, their mom’s voice can make the baby feel comfortable.

That is why babies often turn towards familiar voices, such as when their mom or dad speaks. Because the baby has heard their mom and dad’s voices the most since they were a fetus. The baby will remember this voice and immediately recognize it when they hear it. That is also why moms don’t need to worry too much about who the baby will follow more: the mom, dad, or grandma. Because no voice can replace the mom’s voice in the baby’s heart!

Peaceful Sleep in Mom’s Arms

Did you know that babies want to hear, smell, or see their mom? So they will show their love for their mom by sleeping peacefully in their mom’s arms.

But if the baby doesn’t like being held (some babies especially don’t like being hugged or touched), it doesn’t mean the baby hates their mom. Almost all babies, when a little older, want to be hugged by their mom’s arms.

Giggling with Mom

At about two months old, the baby can already have conversations with their mom through adorable sounds. This is an incredibly joyful experience for moms. At this time, the baby also needs their mom to respond with similar adorable sounds, with non-verbal sounds. This is a “conversation” interaction that all newborns enjoy.

When mom communicates with the baby, it means mom is helping the baby develop good speaking and listening skills because the baby will listen and mimic the words mom says. In addition, the baby’s giggling with mom shows that the baby just wants to show mom how much they love her.

Expressing Joy when Mom Passes By

When the baby is six months old, they can distinguish very well who is around them. The baby will feel most familiar and close to their mom or dad, considering their mom and dad as the closest and most beloved people. The baby’s expression of love will be happiness, jumping up, and excitement when they see their mom or dad in their line of sight.

Because children can differentiate who is closest to them, moms and dads should spend quality time with their own child. If the baby is excited when they see their mom, dad, siblings… it shows that the baby loves you and considers you the most important people.
