Ritu, I believe you are right. There is something about the biological bond between mother and child that cannot be explained. Sharing the same body for 9 months let's mothers get a head start on fathers. It is not that I think mothers are better or somehow emotionally more connected to their offspring, but a mother can tell a newborn's cry and what it means, while a father has to learn. My own mother has that Jewish proverb on a pillow.
