In general, students rated more tykes as better looking than high school seniors. But the results showed there was no relationship between cuteness as a little one and attractiveness as a grown-up. A second study with 72 participants evaluating a different set of infant and adult photographs had similar findings.

When researchers put the idea behind the hit song "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby" to the test, it didn't hold up. Being a beautiful baby did not predict who would become the best-looking adults, a new study found. Facial attractiveness is not stable from infancy into adulthood, suggests research published in the journal Infant Behavior & Development. In one study, 253 college students rated the attractiveness of 40 infants (under age 2) and young adults (age 16 to 18) on a scale from 1 for "not that cute or attractive" to 7 for "very cute or attractive." Students evaluated each person's baby and high school yearbook photos. All the pictures were grayed head shots showing the face from ear to ear and hairline to chin. That way coloring preferences, bad hair or ugly clothes wouldn't sway the judges. In general, students rated more tykes as better looking than high school seniors. But the results showed there was no relationship between cuteness as a little one and attractiveness as a grown-up. A second study with 72 participants evaluating a different set of infant and adult photographs had similar findings. "At first we thought the old adage that an attractive adult 'must have been a beautiful baby' must be true due to the constancy of one's genetics," says Marissa Harrison, an assistant professor of psychology at Penn State Harrisburg in Middletown, Penn. But then we realized babies have likely evolved to be cute to elicit care from parents, she explains. This improves their odds for survival and reproducing as adults. "Simply put, cute babies grew up and left more descendants than not cute babies," adds Harrison. Adorable babies might not turn into real lookers as men and women because hormones affect facial appearance. "The proportion of androgens and estrogens in our bodies as we grow can determine our brow and jaw structure, skin clarity, and facial hair," says Harrison, the study's lead author. So is there a better age during childhood that would give a better indication of adult attractiveness? According to Harrison, the hormones affecting facial structure and appearance kick in around puberty, so you'd probably have to wait until then to make a prediction.

We often say that babies are born learning, but what are they really capable of picking up on? What about something as subtle as their parents’ emotions? While infants vary in their sensitivity, research shows that babies do, indeed, sense and react to their parents’ emotional cues. Generally speaking, they’re picking up on what you’re giving off. “From birth, infants pick up on emotional cues from others. Even very young infants look to caregivers to determine how to react to a given situation,” says Jennifer E. Lansford, PhD, a professor with the Social Science Research Institute and the Center for Child and Family Policy at Duke University. Can babies tell when you’re stressed? It may be time to breathe | Duke University Social Science Research Institute Together with all parts of brain development, (physical, cognitive, language, etc.), a baby’s emotional development begins early, and babies look to their parents’ emotional responses to help them interpret and react to the world around them. Studies have shown that infants as young as one month-old sense when a parent is depressed or angry and are affected by the parent’s mood. Understanding that even infants are affected by adult emotions can help parents do their best in supporting their child’s healthy development. Parents and caregivers who express positive emotions and who respond to babies’ needs in a positive and loving manner are helping promote feelings of security in their child, and that’s what young children need most.
