Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -While infants vary in their sensitivity, research shows that babies do, indeed, sense and react to their parents’ emotional cues. Generally speaking, they’re picking up on what you’re giving off.

Detailed explanation-2: -Infants begin showing a spontaneous “social smile” around age 2 to 3 months, and begin to laugh spontaneously around age 4 months. In addition, between ages 2 and 6 months, infants express other feelings such as anger, sadness, surprise, and fear. Between ages 5 and 6 months, babies begin to exhibit stranger anxiety.

Detailed explanation-3: -Three distinct emotions are present from birth; anger, joy, and fear, revealed by universal facial expressions. Cognitive input is not required for emotional response at this stage. During the brief periods of alertness in the newborn period, the newborn may return a mother’s gaze.
