baby

You already know that babies are cute and fun to snuggle. They wear sweet and funny looking outfits. There are so many things babies can wear that adults would be mocked mercilessly for wearing. Most people think that there isn’t much to being a baby. You might be surprised to learn that most people think that babies are already mostly adult except for a few developmental flaws like an inability to speak and a lack of teeth. While they do have seem to have only basic abilities and large needs, the truth is that babies are quite complex. Here are a few things that you might not already know about babies.

At birth a baby’s skull has yet to fuse together. This is why it is so important for adults to be careful when handling a newborn’s head. The “soft spot” is soft for a reason and not being careful around it could cause quite a bit of damage to your child’s development! Thankfully, after a few months, the soft spot won’t be so soft or nearly as sensitive as it is right after birth. It can take as long as a year and a half for the frontal plates of your baby’s skull to harden, so don’t assume that the worst is over when the soft spot calcifies together.

Believe it or not, this is why a baby will sometimes favor certain toys. What this means is that all of the black and white stuff that you think of as ugly is actually better for your baby’s eyesight and brain development than the more traditional and popular pastel based decorations and toys.

Your baby, in spite of not being able to talk right away, will amaze you with the range of sounds that he or she can make almost as soon as he or she is born. It takes a while for an infant’s voice box to finish forming, which is why it can make so many amazing sounds so soon! This is why an infant’s vocal range is wider than that of an adult. Pay attention to your baby’s sounds: it won’t take long for him to assign specific sounds to specific needs or things. This is why a mother can usually tell if her baby’s cries mean that he is hungry or tired or that he needs a diaper change. Another interesting fact is that most babies’ first words are simple words that involve the consonants and vowels that are made with the front of the mouth. This is why “dada” is usually said before “mama”-because “mama” is harder for a baby to learn to say, but “dada” usually happens almost by accident!

Were you aware that babies grow tails as they develop in the womb? That’s right! For the first few weeks after conception takes place your baby will grow a tail as he grows the rest of his vital organs.

As they mature in the womb the organs inside the baby develop but the tail usually ends up disappearing-the body takes over and the tail disappears up into the body. It is not unlike the way frogs develop from tadpoles. Not everyone completely outgrows their tails-some people are born with tails that are still partially intact. From here the parents can choose whether to have the tail removed or to hope that it disappears over time.
