Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants are able to recognise the smell of their mother's breast and the sound of her voice within the first few days of life. This helps to promote bonding and attachment between mother and child. While infants do develop a sense of self later on in development, it is not present within the first few days of life. Infants also typically continue to rely on the rooting reflex to feed for at least the first few weeks of life and do not have regular sleep and wake cycles until several weeks after birth.
