Even your tiny, itty bitty newborn can recognize you! Yes, they sure can! They spent months growing inside you, after all. How, you ask? Your baby can confidently recognize you by your scent and sound.

Your baby can smell you even before they're born. They're familiar with your scent from the amniotic fluid they've been swimming in. After they're born, they can smell you on your skin, hair, and clothes.

Your baby can also recognize your voice. They're familiar with your voice from the womb and can hear you even when you're not in the same room.

It generally takes babies at least a few weeks to recognize your face, as their vision needs time to develop. Things are quite blurry at first.
