Neonates have less acute senses than adults, but they are very responsive. They can hear well, distinguish different tastes, and can see up to about 8-10 inches away. They are also able to feel pain and respond to touch. However, they are not able to lift their heads or turn over completely as their muscles are not yet fully developed.
