I've never heard of such things but that is quite an interesting topic. I'm curious to gain others perspectives on this.

I grew into a toddler (around 1 yr old) who rejected people (i'd cry especially with my grandmother who loved me so much), but I'd had even in that small time, enough experiences with my mother to believe that perhaps I was being triggered by something on her (my grandmother was an avid smoker, and they'd found burn marks from cigarettes on me from my mother). I'm not sure if infants flat out just refuse nurture, as much as the nurturer not having figured out the best way to please the child.

For instance, I held a lady at my jobs 15 day old a few weeks ago, and she said that she could never get him to be quiet like he was with me (even offered me a babysitting position), but i'm inclined to believe that I had the baby in a position that put the most relief on whatever part of his body was stressing him (likely gas). It was obvious she felt rejected by the infant, but part of her must have known it was just that she wasn't reaching it because she tried (unsuccessfully though) to accommodate the baby into positions that she had seen worked for others.

So, I don't know. I guess in a way I do agree with the T that infants don't usually reject their caretakers (I wouldn't necessarily say the infant would give preference to the person with birth rights, so thats why I say caretaker, or whoever is providing the nurture).
