Does a newborn recognise a daddy as much as mummy? I hear babies get familiar with their mum's smell. Is this also thr case for fathers?

Yes, but that happens after the baby turns 3 months. At this age the baby is able to differentiate between a male and female picture. But the way he responds to his father depends on two important things: - The amount of time you spend with him (as a caregiver). Usually, mothers take control of this role simply because they are breatsfeeding and are able to bond better. However, contrarily, if you are the primary caregiver, the child will be able to recognise you better. - The other factor is favouring a particular gender. Studies by Paul C. Quinn, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Delaware, suggest that infants favour one sex over the other, but it is not pre-programmed. Again, this also depends on your bong with the baby.

babies get familiar with the mum's smell because they spend a lot of time together in close skin to skin contact. also, the mum's smell is associated with breastmilk, which is very different from any other person's smell. in case of fathers, of course this cannot be the case, however, if the father starts spending mroe time with the baby, then gradually the baby will start recognizing the father's scent as well.

initially a newborn is not able to focus well and is not able to clearly see any faces, be it mom or dad. the way a newborn understand that mommy is near is by your smell, and that of the milk. bonding with baby depends on how much time you spend with baby. if the father starts spending a lot of time with the baby, then the baby will also start to respond more to the father.

yes ,baby do recognise daddy . If daddy had close bond with baby. Personally i m a new daddy , i talk to my baby when he is in my wife stomach . And when he is born , i carry him as much as i can and also did talk to him and he recognise me. The way we carry him will also make him feel the same or the tone we talk to them will make them get familiar with

Baby will know their mums and dads. Baby not only get familiar with mum’s smell but also with his dad. But in a lot of cases, mums spend more time with the baby hence baby gets familiar faster with her.

My husband only visits once a month for 2 days only. He works in city (9hrs drive by car). But my baby which is 8mos old still recognize her daddy. She even fall asleep in short time if her daddy carries her.

I think it depends on the time he shares with the baby starting from new born. Some dad can just be too busy even at home, you don't expect an infant to recognised a busy father right?

Yes, u spend time talking n playing with them to create the bond. Perhaps every bednight, spend sometime tgt with mum to chitchat with baby (:

Not really. They live in mummies tummies so naturally they will be more familiar with mummy then daddy.
