Sense of Smell in Babies
Smell is the most advanced, out of the five senses, present in babies at the time of birth. Unlike eyesight, hearing or touch that requires some time, the sense of smell is developed, right at the time when infants are in the womb. Studies have shown that right from the time when babies are in the womb, they smell the amniotic fluid, which is apparently rich with smells. Babies use their sense of smell mostly to stay close to their mother.
Using their sense of smell, babies can differentiate between their mother's breast milk from that of other mothers. A 3 or 4 day old infant recognizes the smell of his/her mother's breast milk. Just the smell of it makes them happy and contended.
It is seen that babies identify their mother's smell, right from the birth and finds more comfort, when this smell is near the baby, rather than the smell of someone else.
How it works:
Mother wears t-shirt for a day
