There is no one correct answer to this question. There are several different theories that have explored this type of question. Many people believe that children and infant learn from their surroundings and what they are exposed to. They develop personalities based on interactions (or lack thereof) with other people.
Other believe that infant and children are bone with a prefabricated personality that grows as they grow. The foundation for this believe is that all babies reach certain milestones at approximately the same time, and as all parents and familial situations vary, this is offered as an explanation.
Typically babies form relationships with people as they spend time with them. Infant who nurse know the feel and smell of their mother and expect that they will nurse when mother is near. If mother also rocks the baby to sleep often, and bathes the baby, the child will come to expect this from the mother and thus the relationship expectations begin and the relationship grows. The same is of the father. As a routine is followed the child expects certain things from each person.
