Baby's First Few Days

Right after birth, newborns spend a lot of time studying faces – especially their parents. Your baby may turn or react to the sound of your voices. That just means your baby is using all of the senses, including smell and touch, to further identify and become attached to you.

Your newborn will cry, sleep and sometimes look straight into your eyes. Due to blurry vision, your baby can best see something (such as your face) when it is about 8 to 15 inches away. Your baby will grab onto your finger if you place it in his or her palm. And of course, your baby will want to eat.
