By the way, this, The Social Baby, is a really fascinating book, e.g. to give as a present to someone who's pregnant. By showing frame-by-frame analysis of very young babies' movements, they show that even in those very early days (ND!) babies can and do communicate.
http://www.socialbaby.com/shop/product.asp?P_ID=403I remember being afraid, before giving birth, that it might take a while to start thinking of my baby as a real person: I couldn't quite imagine forming a real relationship with someone whose communication options were so limited. In the event, it was never an issue: maybe because as parents we naturally learn to pick up even their subtle communications, even if consciously we don't know how we're doing it?
