Newborn baby behaviour, what to expect<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Of all of the species, human newborns are amongst the most vulnerable. Much of their behaviour is driven by impulses which are centred around their survival needs. Staying warm and close to the people who are best placed to ensure these needs are met is one of the reasons why newborns behave as they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of a newborn baby\u2019s behaviour is based around building a close emotional attachment, communicating their needs and exploring the world around them.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all about the relationship!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Babies develop milestones in a head-to-toe direction and it\u2019s no accident of nature that some of their first developmental stages are to establish eye contact and smile. Until babies are around six weeks of age, it can be hard for parents to feel as if they\u2019re getting anything back from their baby and as if all the communication is a one-way street. But slowly smiles begin to form, the baby starts to make vocal sounds and coo and their cues or signals become more defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
