Description

The possibilities of infant consciousness and what it could mean to our precepts about our biological sensory limitations and our own experiences of consciousness. "Not long ago, experts in pediatrics and psychology were teaching that babies were virtually blind, had no sense of color, couldn't recognize their mothers, and heard in "echoes. They believed babies cared little about sharp changes in temperature at birth and had only a crude sense of smell and taste. Their pain was "not like our pain," their cries not meaningful, their smiles were "gas," and their emotions undeveloped. Worst of all, most professionals believed babies were not equipped with enough brain matter to permit them to remember, learn, or find meaning in their experiences." http://www.eheart.com/cesarean/babies.html http://www.whatbabieswant.com/
