Baby Emotions

Can They Know Love?

Do you think babies feel love?

One person felt they can't:

"I don't believe that they can. They simply know who they like and who feeds them. Even if a mother abuses her baby, the baby still will cry for its mother and is ultimately forgiving based solely on her position as mother. I think a baby can see angry and happy, but little beyond that. A baby will continually go back to a parent even if it is obvious that the parent does not love them or care for them.

But I think a baby doesn't really know what love is and will simply go back to the hand that feeds."
