Many mothers describe moments where they seem to sense when their baby needs them, even when they are apart and no obvious sensory cues are present.
These experiences raise interesting questions about the connection between mothers and babies, which might be suggestive of telepathy. Research into telepathy has often suggested that it occurs most strongly between individuals who share a close emotional bond, and the mother–baby relationship is among the closest of all.
As part of ongoing research into possible mother–baby telepathy, we are inviting breastfeeding mothers to take part in a simple study. In particular, we are interested in mothers who have noticed unexpected milk let-down while away from their baby, and later discovered that their baby became hungry or distressed at the same time. We are also interested in mothers who have experienced milk let-down shortly before their baby wakes, without hearing the baby or following a predictable feeding routine.
The study involves being away from your baby for short periods of time that fit within your normal schedule, and noting the timing of any let-down sensations. During this period, your baby would be with their usual caregiver, and we would compare the timing of any let-down sensations with your baby’s hunger cues or waking.
Participants will receive a payment for taking part. If you are interested in taking part and:
• are currently breastfeeding,
• have experienced unexpected milk let-down while separated from your baby,
• and have noticed that these let-downs coincide with your baby waking or showing hunger cues…
