I haven't got another baby in the oven just yet, but when I was pregnant, a friend's daughter who was 12mths old walked up to me and patted my tummy, she seemed to know instinctively that there was a baby in there...without being told..

Maybe babies have use of other senses that we lose(or become desensitised to) as we get older? :-k

Has anyone ever seen the movie "Baby Geniuses"? it was about the concept that babies under 2, actually know the meaning to life etc..but when they "cross over"(learn to talk) they lose that ability and become stupid well lose their gifts..only fictional but hey maybe there's something in it?
