As a fetus develops in the womb, it matures and learns from it's mother. The fetus is developing physical characteristics that are inherited from the parents, but also can develop delays and deficits if the mother or father are not careful.

As mentioned in the Emory article, the early months of fetal development is a crucial period for healthy babies.

As Piaget states, after a child is born, they develop by going through different stages.

As a child is born, they slowly gather new information from their new environment. They make the connection that the familiar voice they hear is now paired with the smell and sight of their mother. According to Annie Murphy Paul, babies have already learned their mother's voice prior to being born.  When presented with a recording of their mother's voice and a nipple, and a recording of a stranger's voice and a nipple, the babies chose their mother's voice. The familiarity gave them a sense of comfort.

As children grow, they continue to be nurtured by those who surround them. They also are influenced by their environment.

While in the womb, a child is taking in much of the outside world. They are memorizing new sounds, particularly their mother's voice. They are learning to enjoy new tastes and become accustomed to their mother's interests. According to Annie Murphy Paul's TED Talk, mothers that drank only carrot juice during their pregnancy produced babies that preferred carrots.
Babies also absorb both positive and negative environments. If a mother is exposed to drugs or alcohol, this can negatively  affect her child.

Conception is the initial stage of human development. Conception results in the fertilization of an egg from the mother and the sperm from the father. Babies inherit traits from both parents.
