Their report, published in the scientific journal Infant Behavior and Development revealed that affectionate face-to-face interaction caused the heart rhythm of mother and baby to coordinate “within lags of less than one second.”

sounds like a good thing, but what if the mom is all stressed and her heart is just racing. that could be a mean thing to do to the kid lol

The mother wouldn't be likely to smile at that point.

Also, why would this be a good thing exactly? /honestquestion

prob meant to naturally calm down a crying kid or something (assuming the mom is in a good state)
