More recently, neuroscientific research has shown that satisfying, loving experiences in the first year of life lead to the development of a great multiplicity of neural connections within the brain while the scarcity of good experiences reduces the number of such connections being made and causes brain cells to wither. This evidence confirms yet again that our very early emotional experiences in life are of utmost importance for the baby’s development. Although we may not have any conscious memory of our first years of life, the psychosomatic states we experienced then are, throughout life, re-evoked to a greater or lesser extent, in situations that, in one way or another, resemble them.
It is an external object, as unpredictable and uncontrollable as the breast will be after birth. Both the voice and the breast alternate moments of presence and moments of absence”; she goes on to say: “Is it not likely that the disappearance of the enlivening and stimulating voice might give the child a proto-experience of absence and loss? Missing an object generates desire; and desire cannot exist without some, even though fleeting, consciousness of an ‘elsewhere’ and a ‘not-me’” (1995, p. 27).

Yet I have learnt of quite a number of infants who have shown an equal degree of considerateness for their mother’s state of mind from very early on. One little girl, at a few weeks old, seemed to sense when her mother was upset and depressed.
