3 days old

Remembering what breast feeding (motherhood) is like: a hungry mouth clamps down on a sensitive part of your body. Instead of pulling away, you move closer.

Signs of awareness: somehow knowing the difference between being held and being put down, preferring of course, to be held.

Settling/attending to the sound of mom or dad's voice.

When feeding, stops and opens her eyes when someone enters the room, resumes when they leave.
