Symptoms from Parental Conflicts
How Babies Can Take On the Emotional Conflicts of Their Parents
Since a baby is a part of the mother from the moment of conception—and remains deeply connected for many years after birth—they can absorb and express their parents’ emotional states.
When the emotional bond between baby and father, or between mother and father, is strong, the baby can sometimes carry or manifest the unresolved tensions within that family field.
The most obvious signs of this are symptoms that “shouldn’t” belong to a baby—especially those related to intimate or sexual energy. For example: smegma in baby boys, or inverted nipples in either the baby or the mother.
What is smegma?
Smegma is a whitish or yellowish secretion with a creamy or grainy texture that often collects under the foreskin, especially in uncircumcised baby boys.
Medically speaking, it’s not dangerous and usually clears up in a few days with gentle cleansing. It’s a natural part of the process through which the foreskin slowly separates from the glans—a process that can continue until adolescence.
From an emotional perspective, if the father is experiencing an inner conflict related to his sexuality—such as dissatisfaction, frustration, rejection, feeling inadequate as a man, unspoken tension in the relationship, attraction, shame, or fear of the sexual energy of his partner—then the child may physically express that unresolved energy.
It’s simply energy transforming into something else. (Remember: everything in this world is energy, and energy always moves and transforms.)
This can often be resolved gently through conscious awareness. The difference between leaving a conflict unresolved and actively addressing it is visible in the speed of healing.
When the real root is recognized and addressed, the symptom can disappear within a few hours. In this case, a simple solution may be honest communication between the partners and reconnection through physical closeness (sex) or other forms of intimacy.
Regular physical closeness in a couple brings balance, wellness to the entire family, and—most importantly—emotional and psychological stability. (Translation: nobody ends up shouting around the house.)
Inverted Nipples and the Breastfeeding Connection
In many cases, new mothers in the hospital can go through experiences that trigger shame, guilt, or even forms of birth-related trauma.
For example, nurses might roughly squeeze a mother’s nipples and mentally program her with the idea that “you don’t have milk for your baby.”
This can be avoided with a bit of information before birth (so there’s less room for trauma) or healed afterward (by rewriting the experience with accurate understanding).
It’s essential to know: a mother isn’t supposed to have “milk” right away. In the first days, what the baby needs is colostrum—a thick, yellow, nutrient-dense liquid. Just a few drops are more than enough for a newborn’s tiny cherry-sized stomach.
The fear and frustration of “not having enough to feed my baby” can lead to inverted nipples—either in the mother or the baby.
If you notice this in your baby and it’s only on one side, you can reflect on a few key questions:
Is this your second child?How was the breastfeeding experience with your first?Was it the same breast that had issues before?
Emotional healing work can help release energetic blockages in the area, even if the physical shape of the nipple doesn’t change immediately.
Improvements are often visible within a few weeks.
These observations do not replace a medical consultation. They offer an emotional and energetic perspective on symptoms, inspired by German New Medicine, the New Biological Laws, and real-life experience with children.
