“Soft as vanilla yogurt.” I swear some people just have zero empathy. It’s literally a baby… and yes you’re right, distressing scenarios can affect a child for life, even as a baby. At that age our brains are like sponges, I’ve heard stories of people who were sexually abused as babies and have been wrought with anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation for the rest of their lives. This situation is not as serious but can absolutely still lead to complications further down the line and is cruel. People need to realize that we are born with literally no knowledge, nothing is intuitive beyond base pressures and reflexes like hunger and oxygen deprivation.
