Describe the five senses of a newborn infant
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?An infant uses their senses of taste, touch, and smell early on to comprehend their environment. The sense of smell is particularly acute and babies can tell the difference between their own mother and another mother within three days after birth. Babies are able to use their taste buds quite early on, preferring sweet tastes. Infants respond to touch, which helps to stimulate growth and improve brain development. Hearing also allows the baby to recognize their mothers’ voice shortly after birth. Visually, babies are rather nearsighted and have trouble focusing both eyes on an object. Infants prefer complex, high-contrast stimuli, especially faces.
