Its barbaric. Babies know their mums smell and voice and naturally want to breastfeed - even at a very young age that baby will understand he has been separated from his mother. There's no such thing as 'not having a mother' for a baby.Ahh that's so sad
I remember when my son started talking, and I realised he had been talking to me for months babbling away and I hadn't realised - who's to say what this baby is expressing, he may not literally remember his mum but he could be expressing his loss and trauma.
Babies know their mum the second they are born, I remember my newborn son staring at me and turning his head to watch me as I walked around the room - this baby has lost his mum, surrogacy is so cruel.

I work with mums and newborns and lots of them have older babies too. Watching mums and young toddlers talking to each other is fascinating, they have their own language that no-one else can understand. And even very young babies will communicate with their mums in ways that we still don't fully understand. Mums will recognise their own baby's cry almost immediately after birth. Anyone on here who has had a child knows that you're "tuned into" your kids in a way that no-one else on the planet is. We know our children are sick before there are any visible symptoms. We wake at night at the slightest sound or movement. It's almost a sixth sense, and deliberately cutting that bond is tantamount to child abuse IMO.
