As a mother, you carried this child for 9 months and gave birth to them. There is always a special bond between mother and child even before the child is born. It takes a few weeks for the baby's eyes to focus and they can actually see shapes and objects. In the beginning, the child is sensing your presence. They have a special bond with you and they just know you are there. They understand your touch, feel your warmth, love, and kindness. As you hold your baby in your arms and nurse your child they smell your skin and understand that you are their mom. When your baby is sleeping and your reach down to touch their soft skin or pick them up to cuddle them, they understand from your touch and feel that you are their mom. It is sort of a seventh sense in your child when you are near.
