How do babies think as they have no language, or are they spared from the bombardment of thoughts regarding past and future fears?

They think intuitively .. Instinctually.  They certainly have fears that spring from that.

Who ever said babys think?  Thinking is a learned behavior and babys learn mostly by watching their surroundings and after a while most becomes etched into their brain but Parents teach their kids to think and schools contribute to this over the years. Babys learn fears by trial and error and again by watching others around them, mostly siblings , if applicable.  And as seen just because we are born with a brain, doesn't mean we know how to use it and some people never learn at all

This is what I meant, if babies have no language which is how we form thoughts, how do they think?

The fact is they don't as we know it as they have to fill their little brains with info they learn by observing and rely on Parents to learn what to do with this info and learn how to think on their own and how to communicate with others although babys do have a language all their own
