Smell. This is a fact. It has been recorded that when a mother died in childbirth, the baby (provided it birthed) would push its way to the mother chest to feed.

I think the Most developed sense at birth is the sense of hearing. It can't be taste, have you ever tried baby formula, it's just AWFUL! If it were taste, babies would refuse it. It's obviously not the sense of sight since we know that babies don't see very well until several weeks after birth. It could be the sense of smell, however I doubt it since the sense of taste and sense of smell are so closely tied together, (remember the onion / apple test we did as kids where they blind fold you and have you bite into a piece of each with your nose blocked and have you guess which is which, everyone got it wrong!). Or maybe it's the SIXTH SENSE! (hee!) =)

As under:
1. To move hands and legs
2.To cry
3.To look for the breast of the mother
for milk, even though his eyes are closed.
4. To suck milk from the breasts.
5. If the child misses the nipples, by chance,
he cries again and tries to locate it with his
tiny hand.

i would say the senses of touch and smell. newborns cant see very far or well at birth but they can distingish thier mothers smell from other persons and are highly sensitive to touch!

Smell, within a few hours a child can recognise it's mothers breast pad scent above others. Hearing, can recognise it's mother's voice and other familiar voices it has heard in the womb.

touch (grasp reflex) and hearing.....babies respond to outside sounds inuterine...did you ever watch a baby try to avoid the sounds emitted from a sonogram (watch the monitor...)

Smell and touch are the first two.
