7.When a baby is seven months old,he or she can already feel,hear,taste,smell and see.As a new mother,you should know that your child is ready to learn about the world from birth.
Touch.One of the most important means of communicating a mother has with her baby is touch.Babies enjoy gentle touch and rhythmic(有節(jié)奏的) movement.While inside the mother,the baby is used to being rocked by the mother's movements.After birth,the same rocking movements comfort him or her.Crying babies often become quiet by being put close to the mother's body and gently rocked.Even the most common activities-feeding and bathing the baby,or walking with the baby in your arms-improve the baby's sense of touch and movement.
Smell and Taste.Even at birth,babies show that they can tell apart different kinds of smells by turning away from unpleasant ones.They quickly learn to recognize familiar smells,especially their mothers'.Although their taste organs aren't completely developed,they can tell sweet from sour and much prefer the former.
Hearing.A baby listens to your voice,your heartbeat,breathing and so on.When his or her head is pressed against your chest,those familiar sounds are comforting,and many babies fall asleep in this position.You may notice that high-pitched(聲調(diào)高的) voices are more pleasant to babies,so men should raise the pitch of their voices when speaking to them.As a baby gains more control over his or her head movements,it becomes clear that he or she can correctly find the location of a sound source.Loud,sharp noises often upset babies,while soft,rhythmic sounds calm them down.Music boxes,toys that make pleasant sounds and soft music stimulate(激發(fā))the babies'sense of hearing.
