The baby shows no sign of her traumatic first hours of life “because she does not understand what happened to her. A one-week -old baby can’t even exhibit a ‘social smile’ until she is 2 months old,” a source in the Department of Health told Cebu Daily News.
The mother is also in stable condition. Her bleeding has stopped.

The mother, who initially kept the pregnancy a secret, rejected the baby because she has another family in Bohol province.
Social workers are extending psychosocial intervention for the mother, who will be transferred with her baby to a child-care center.
