Final Answer :
Answers will vary. Neonates can discriminate distinct odors, such as those of onions and licorice. They show more rapid breathing patterns and increased bodily movement in response to powerful odors. They also turn away from unpleasant odors, such as ammonia and vinegar, as early as the first day after birth. The nasal preferences of neonates are similar to those of older children and adults.
