[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's basic survival. Children are helpless. Therefore, they develop a bond with an adult who cares for them in order to survive. They have no frame of reference. Therefore, they do not evaluate or judge their adult caregivers based on the choices that they make. Et voila! We've got a bond (assuming the adult caregiver cares for their child).[/quote]

Totally agree with this -- I could "see" my baby's instincts for survival. First babies are designed to be adorable. And second they behave in all kinds of cute and relational ways to ensure you will take care of them. I was disposed to take good care of my baby anyway, but he sure made it easy to love him.

Also OP, I read something about super early facial recognition. Babies are programmed for faces, and especially your face. I think I read babies might know a face more like the ones they know ( and immediately love siblings).

My baby could pick me out at distances and from around a corner. Babies totally love their moms -- maybe because they must get fed, but I will take it![/quote]
