Humans have pheromones. We do. We can’t smell them because we don’t have the receptors for it but we do have something similar to pheromones and it’s why certain things “smell nice” about people and animals to us. We can’t tell anything beyond “wow! This is comforting!”. Anyways babies feed off of the mother. This included emotions. They feel everything the mother feels. If the mother is stressed, so is the baby. In this case, he was stressed, heartbroken and feeling SCARED around ML. The pheromones/ scent of ML plus the voice of ML plus the feelings MC felt during those times = very upset and scared baby. This is actually how babies know the father right out of the womb. They know mama from the heartbeat but they know if papa from the voice and how mama reacts to papa. That’s why it’s actually advised to continue having sensual/sexual relations in pregnancy to strengthen the bond between both parents and by extension, papa and baby. Plus orgasms release stress and that protects the baby. This is overdramatised for the sake of the story but it absolutely does happen. I’ve seen it so many times where the father was not stepping up during the pregnancy itself and mother was stressed and angry all the time or sad all the time and not only was the baby born a girl but the baby was also rejecting of the father immediately on just being close enough to smell him. He didn’t even talk. He didn’t do it with their second child (they worked out their marriage with counselling) and that child was a boy and loved both of them dearly from the second he was born. It happens and it takes a while but it’s honestly really hard to override that guard the child has unless the mama actively shows them putting their guard down and being loving with the papa. In the case of the couple I’m talking about, she would hold the baby while sat on his lap and he would hold them both. Over time, the baby would be put more and more onto the dads side until dad was holding the baby. I think it took like 4 months for them but it did eventually work and the child doesn’t even remember it.
