Newborns have limited sight when first born, but this sharpens as they grow. Babies start hearing sounds while they are still inside the womb and can even decipher the voice of their mom at birth. They will learn the differences between sour and sweet tastes, gravitate to smells that are nice and receive comfort through warmth and gentle touch.
