A reply received off-list from a friend is being posted here. A new

twist to the way we should look at babies as a homogeneous assembly

of " mind-body-spirit " the way we look at elders!

 

Hello ---

 

Also to consider ---- as adults we have forgotten that wee, little

ones are fully present souls in a human body. They FEEL and react to

everything in their environment. When mother and/or father

experience anything, but especially significant change (ie., mother

returning to work) the little one experiences it as well.

UNFORTUNATELY, babies are not able to process with the neocortex

brain and talk about it. They still experience it, react, and

adjust, and the neocortex of the brain IS developing around his or

her experience.

 

In addition to the phsycial aspect of adjusting to formula at six

months, baby is also adjusting to mother's abence, including absence

of her breast as safety and nurturing. Baby will experience, without

condolence or acknowledgement of feelings, that mother is gone.

Every baby will react differently. My own daughter, at age six

months, refused to make eye contact with me when I returned home

after a three week absence -- resulting in her weaning. She giggled,

cooed, and reached for her twelve year old brother. I had so

regretted the decision to be gone and was totally miserable for the

entire time. I had driven 1800 miles like a lunactic to see her and

I was crushed that she would have nothing to do with me. She would

only acknowledge her brother -- when I got my face in hers she would

turn away from me and look for him and gabber and laugh with

delight. She was obviously pissed. Five years later during my

intense training in prenatal and birth therapy

(www.castellinotraining.com) she and I healed this break in our

attachment/relationship. What could have become a " funny family

story " was actually a profoundly significant wounding and an

opportunity for healing. The way in which a baby reacts to a

situation will be a response that began in response to the

circumstances of conception and the soul's journey, then the

earliest experience of attachment to the uterine wall, then the

attachment after birth (always disrupted in modern birth), and in

this case, likely, the experience of first feedings --- was formula

given during this sensitive period? It's all cummulative.

 

It may feel like the " bad news " , but the " good news " is that we can

heal it if we are conscious of it. We women no longer have to carry

and hold guilt -- we can transform it and our relationship with our

babies. Babies will communicate very directly and clearly when we

are willing to observe and listen, and let them have their opinion

of the situations.
