Faint Smile
OfMothers
Greets Bubes

Most mothers Just smile
weakly when they look at their
babies for the first time, q
study of 500 deliveries showed
today.
More than half Of the moth
ers demonstrated only a weak
accepting reaction" by smiling
a little. Another 80 per cent
were obviously greatly pleased.
Only IA per cent appeared
Indifferent or displeased, the
researchers conducting the
study at the University of Mis-
sissippi School of Medicine in
Jackson reported.
The study was conducted by
Niles Newton, Ph.D., and Mi
chael Newton, MD, both Of the
university's department of OBJ
stetrics and gynecology. They
reported the study in today's
Journal Of the American Medi-
cal Association.
They said the physical ex-
periences Of labor, including the
use Of forceps and the length
Of labor, were not found to be
related to the mothers reac-
tions.
THE mother who was most
likely to be pleased at the first
sight Of her newborn was the
mother who had stayed calm
and relaxed in labor and who
co-operated with her attend
ants" they said.
She had received more soli-
cltous care she more fire.
quently had a good emotional
relationship with her attend
ant and particularly desired to
breast feed her baby"
The authors concluded that
mother love in human beings,
insofar as it is visible when the
mother first sees the baby, may
be more related to her own
personality, social class and
inner calm than to whether she
had a painful or easy delivery.
