A member asked:

Is there some exchange of something between mom and baby (besides blood) that influences how baby develops?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many, many, many: The interaction between mom and baby is complicated.Both physical and psychiatric lives get their first seeds of a good, healthy, enjoyable life. Pretty close to power of your genetic inheritance. A loving, nurturing mother is irreplaceable.
