Yes, the babies all said that was the reason when they were interviewed later.

Regardless of the source's background, the information she mentioned actually reflects current knowledge of how infants and older children develop. In order to develop emotion regulation skills, healthy attachment, and social skills, we do naturally look away from our caregiver and others doting on us as a way to self-regulate intense feelings.
In fact, many children can develop attachment and emotion regulation issues if caregivers aren't responsive and share compassion or empathize with a child's behavior (e.g. a baby becoming upset and crying if- when looking away- the caregiver instead tries to get its attention repeatedly and not giving the child a break.) That's why it's important to have some level of emotional intelligence to develop healthy attachments with kids and them with us.
For more information, you can look up attachment theory and theories on human development (Erikson, Piaget, etc.). This is also mentioned here.

In my experience, the first time your child smiles at you, you're overwhelmed with joy and wonder, which is undercut moments late by the realization that your child is not smiling because of you, but because they just took a massive shit.
Fake or not it made me smile and I do think/remember children feelings being extremely strong. Minor shit makes kids cry and wallow in despair. We all ought to remember about that more often
It's all the best and worst they've ever felt, cause it's all they've known yet.
My adult partner also does this
That sounds incredibly pulled out of someone's ass.

Also "emoting"
Hey, I have no problem with verbing words though. Also emote has been in use for many decades.
I initially assumed they meant emojiing the chocolate ice cream emoji in their nappies
I have a feeling this is like that elephant "fact" that was spread around and I 100% fell for, that elephants look at us and think we're "cute".
Plausible enough, but a good reminder to read the citation before passing along as a fact. That’s how dictatorships come about.
... they sometimes turn away in the middle of smiling at you because they're so overwhelmed by joy they can't handle all the emotion and have to regulate like Warren G and Nate Dogg.
I hate it when people say shit like this so authoritatively. Like this is some conjecture at best. It’s a baby. No one knows why a baby does this. Someone assumed that and some other people said oh yeah that makes sense.
It doesn't really seem that hard to test? Emotions--at least in their occurrence and strength--are detectable with non-invasive brain scans. We've been doing that for ages. Put some electrodes on a baby, let them see their mommy, watch the graph spike until they turn away.
The argument "how could we know that about babies?" was used, for decades, to justify doing surgery on babies without anesthesia. They can't talk, so who knows if they're feeling pain or not. Guess we can safely assume they don't. Point being, we don't have to have a conversation with them about it to know why they're doing something.
Oh yeah let me just plug in an fmri and find out if someone is definitively experiencing “joy”. That’s high level somewhat subjective emotion, not pain. Neurological understanding is not nearly as advanced as you think it is. I spent my post doc doing fmri research; the best thing you could come up with here is “areas of the brain associate with pleasure are highly activated” but even that doesn’t necessarily indicate the baby feels overwhelmed. Maybe I’m wrong and there’s some fancier neuroscientist out their that can read baby brains but I doubt it
Yeah baby please stand still for the brainscan... Or try to laugh while your head is restrained in a vise. Easy peasy
While I think scanning baby brains is not really viable for this (see my other reply) they actually do basically put babies in a restraint for X-rays and neurological scans that looks pretty fucked up. But I mean if a baby is having seizures or has a suspected broken bone you have to get imaging, even if it’s kind of cruel

EEG's aren't that uncomfortable.
You don't know what an EEG is, do you?
I replied to someone mentioning a brain 'scan' though. You know what an EEG is but... Do you know what that G stands for?
Gram.
You know how to discourage people from learning, don't you?
Only people who make fun of those who know more from a position of ignorance
How ironic of you
We interviewed 10,000 babies and learned jack shit
Or like a study in UK concluded: fuck all.
We interviewed 10,000 babies and the most common answer were:
giggle
cry
smile
shit themselves
My first thought what how the fuck could you possibly know that
It's nicer to believe than my baby turned away because it's tummy hurts from laughing at my face too much.
it's tummy
*its tummy :)
their*, babies aren't objects
Excellent point! I stand corrected.
it isn‘t tummy 😉
Isn’t this woman some sort of religious fundamentalist?
She is religious, and writes opinion articles, so I wouldn't take anything she says any more seriously than anything you read here.

This makes me think she's probably not a fundie.
