Babies learn even before birth
they also learn to get you to do what they want from the first moment they are born. The tricky bit is to learn how to differentiate between when they need something or just want something. I have seen both extremes often, parents who neglect a child that needs changing or is ill, and I have seen infants who command a slave. They are masters of manipulation, and should they succeed, their parents will be responsible for one more of those arrogant little shits on welfare (living off someone elses back), who believe that the world owes them a living and then some. Try to find the balance. It is difficult, more often than not you won't, but in the long run it will balance out, instead of being all one way.
