eating is not an instinct. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, haaaaaaaaaaa. You're an idiot. Babys cry when they're hungry because they were previously taught to eat......rye? rye. stfu dude, you're bloviating and blabbering
An instinct is an unlearned behavior. If eating were indeed instinct then you would have no choice but to eat. The very fact that one can choose not to eat even up until death is proof that eating is not an instinctive behavior. It's the same with the so called survival instinct. That you could choose to jump off a bridge is proof you have no instinct to survive.
If babies had instincts to eat they would not have to learn how to eat.
Crying because in pain from hunger or gas is not the same thing as eating.
The crying might be argued to be an instinct as the suck reflex may be. But if they are instincts then they are temporary and that lack of permanence puts those behaviors in a different category.
You are a very simplistic thinker if you can't differentiate between learned and unlearned behavior patterns as they apply to a definition.
Umm, you know that babies eat fluid in the womb, don't you? Who taught them, jackass?
I actually watched my baby eat on an ultrasound a month ago. They do just like a fish does. It's pretty instinctual and pretty amazing.
Babies do not "eat" amniotic fluid. Just as fish do not "eat" water
The lungs and digestive tract of a fetus are filled with amniotic fluid. The fetus has no choice but to swallow the fluid and in fact that swallowing acts to help muscles develop and also is used to aid in the development of the kidneys but there is no nutritional value in amniotic fluid.
