Does the smell of newborn babies help the mother and child bond?

Actually, yes it does.The smell of a newborn baby causes the mother to experience the same excitement triggers in the brain that an addict experiences when they have their drug fix.In other words, when a mother smells her newborn baby, she experiences a high similar to that which a drug addict would feel on drugs. This is due to pheromones.This helps the mother and child to bond, as the smell of the baby helps the mother to recognise the baby as her own. This is seen in the majority of mammals as well as birds, not just humans.
