Newborn-senses
Vision
Babies are born with the ability to focus only at close range--about 8 to 10 inches or the distance between a mother's face to the baby in her arms.

Hearing
Babies with normal hearing should startle in response to loud sounds, pay quiet attention to the mother's voice, and briefly stop moving when sound at a conversational level is begun.

-
Taste
-
Babies also show a strong preference for breast milk and breastfeeding, especially if they are breastfed and then offered formula or a bottle.
-
Touch
Swaddling (wrapping snugly in a blanket) is another technique for babies who need to feel tucked and secure.
-
Babies are born fully equipped with all the necessary senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
However, some of these senses are less precise than others.
