Do You Believe In The Existence Of A Maternal Instinct?

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

This inextricable link that binds us to our child is born with this instinct that the child, as if we press a switch and the role of mother seems to us immediately obvious as to drink when thirsty! j 't believe, but I have still some doubt, I do not speak of love, I speak of instinct which are two different things. When you say all come alone .. but when baby is born it still shows you how to breastfeed, and when he cries as well and keep the tag on the hospital has any colic, so that in essence the instinct is something natural, therefore, we should not ask so many questions for you, so the maternal instinct is a reality that is part of human nature? or is it just a concept??

no! you did or you did not is not necessarily innate, that is something you learn throughout the day with your little one, unfortunately, many women have abandoned their child not fiber Kindergarten

I think the maternal instinct does not exist. It was maternal love, that's clear, but I do not think we can speak of instinct. Honestly, I have given birth by two weeks (perhaps before, it was decided not too) and I know that at the beginning, well I'm gonna do shit. Same with breastfeeding, it is not as "self" than certain (e) s claim and it may take time to implement or not properly fall into place. In short, I think you learn gradually as you need to learn, simply.

You point out yourself: you must learn these things. So where in all this is instinct, exactly? For me it is clearly no. As for love, I would call option and the examples of women who, without the freezer to fuck little carers and / or bad thing remains common throughout the world. Formerly, many were those who abandoned them at every opportunity. Since the religious or social pressures have changed and a new pretext was found … Personally if I had to raise a child (if rather extreme denial of pregnancy / discovered later on, for example) I do not think I would have committed, or that I wanted to take care puisqu'ĂȘtre mother is something I've never desired (we are still social beings!). Fortunately, now I no longer likely sterilized much!

to the limit, I would not call maternal instinct, but instinct "animal", some gave voice, while others will be more rational in the Cartesian and I made … lots of things "dictated" by my animal instinct: breastfeed (because I am a mammal), sleep with my baby (because in nature, mothers do not let their little sleep "away"), to raise against me a + whenever possible, do not panic at the slightest fart around. babies also have that animal instinct more or less present (and that leaves him more or less express). I always remember my second son was born. So I was lying on his stomach, he has "crawled" a few centimeters, and was transplanted in the most natural manner, as if he had his whole life! We are taught breastfeeding because Rare are those in our time, who saw their mothers, aunts or other women around them breastfeed their children, so we know how to change a diaper …
