Is it true that Stress in the Mother Can Be Infused with Babies?

When Mother is feeling stressed, then Little One cries continuously. Don't add stress, bro. Possible baby is not fussy, but "contracted" the stress that Mother is feeling.

Actually this begins when the baby is in the womb. Your child can feel when you experience stress during pregnancy. There are various effects of this. Starting from increasing the risk of preterm labor, low birth weight to temperament and IQ level of the baby after birth.

Babies Learn to Recognize Emotions from the Environment

After birth, babies will begin to learn to recognize emotions from those around them, especially Mother and Father. In a study, it was found that the stress that you feel can affect your child. For example, he can feel sad if he sees his parents sad or being bad mood.

At the age of a few months, babies can even distinguish sad and happy expressions. This is the reason babies will be more interested if Mother asks her to speak with expression.

Conversely, if Mother shows an expressionless face, the baby might try to make Mother smile. In addition, babies can also feel if someone who smiles at him is not sincere or made up.

Entering the age of 1 year, in addition to recognizing what others are feeling, he can even feel cared about the expressions of others. Even though he was still a child, he could pay attention to how Bunda was happy to greet Bunda's best friend, or when Mother seemed to be fond of stroking her favorite cat at home.
