Social Baby: Understanding Babies Communication from Birth
by Lynne Murray, Liz Andrews
Category: Infant psychology

Every baby is a unique individual from the moment of birth, with their own likes and dislikes, strengths and sensitivities. One baby might find bright light disturbing, another may not be troubled by light at all but might find being undressed distressing. Similarly, babies differ in what they find soothing and comforting. Only by being finely tuned to a baby's unique communications can an adult fully understand that baby and provide appropriate care.
