Dear Winnie, When I am examining babies for regular health check ups,
talking to them and getting them to engage with me is a regular part of my
exam.  I love it when mom says something and they immediately quit looking
at me and seek her! I  point this out to mom in a friendly way, about how
baby prefers her, etc.  The point is, as LCs we should be noting how baby
engages with mom and others, just another clue to add to our total picture
of a baby/mom couplet.  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
