Do babies have a sixth sense?

[sexy.time]

This weekend i went to these fireworks for canada day in my hometown and after, i was walking back to my vehicle along with many other people.

I could hear this small baby, maybe 1 1/2 years old, behind me just screaming her head off. I turned around and her arms were stretching towards me. So i picked her up, and she wouldnt let me go for atleast 3 minutes.

her parents were like "oh im so sorry", i didnt mind cuz all these girls around me were JUST MELTING. i was thinkin "i gotta get me one of these lol".

This got me thinkin
​

Since babies cant talk, they determine whether they like a person or not by outer appearance. but do you think there is more to their decision than just a persons physical appearance. Can they sense if a person is good or not? or if they are maybe related?
Or did i just happen to look like sombody the baby knew?

i dont think babies know...i think they expect everyone to treat them the way they are used to being treated.

yeah i don't think babies have that sixth sense. they'll pretty much go to anyone

haha, well it made me feel special. there was tons of people, and she ran to me

If it was scared perhaps anyone who would hold it would make it feel sheltered. You were just in the right area at the right time.

I have seen baby's pick and choose who the want to go to they might have some insite into a person remember we can't see what they see

 

[BreakfastSurreal]

we can't??? I'd beg to differ!

 

[VSPrasad]

The Hindu Upanishads say "Bala vac Brahma vac" (children have
divine senses or abilities).

Many books have come about the sixth sense of children:

Amazon.com: The Sixth Sense II: Books: Carol Gray

Children have sixth sense about plight of parents - Voices

I have personally had a few experiences in this line.

I don't agree with any of you aside from CRZY. They are more intelligent than you give them credit for.

It is a curse

No one has a sixth sense - there are only five. There has been some research done lately with babies, where two babies have been left alone together. After a little while (it takes 15 minutes or so - parents watching throught two way mirrors) they will keep each other calm.

Its an interesting thought that perhaps babies are not quite as helpless as we think they are, but I don't think that there is any magic involved either - more like instinctual survival skills.
