How can your baby "sense" when you are stressed, overwhelmed, upset...etc...?

Question

My mom sometimes says "Don't let yourself get worked up because the baby can "sense" it"

Answer 1

My daughter still knows how I feel and she is 5. The truth is, they watch everything about you. They know you better than you know yourself and can tell when you are upset, happy, sad, mad, etc... My little girl imitates a lot of what I do and my aunt tells me all the time if I want to know my reaction to something, look at her because she is just like me. Your children learn from watching you, and yes that includes your reactions as well as your actions.

Answer 2

Because your baby has been inside you for 9 months and he/she knows what it feels like when Mummy is nice and calm.

Answer 3

lol is it your baby or your sister?
