Well, for a child to be healthy, it starts with an healthy environment. There should be positivity around the house and the mother should be out of distress or out of being upset of her surroundings. Mother’s emotional stress indirectly but definitely affects the baby and their health and as a result it could lead to early births, miscarriages or baby born with umbilical cord around its neck. For a baby to be healthy it is important for him/her to have caring parents and caring home. Even when babies are very young of just one month old they can sense what is good for them and what brings danger for them. They can sense their mother’s feelings just by the way mother touches them.
