Facts About Babies Most People Don't Know

By Michell Downey


You might already have a fair amount of baby knowledge. Someone has undoubtedly told you that it can take a little bit for babies to start to recognize other people. Most people already know that babies are able to identify their mothers right after they have been born. You've probably learned that babies develop at their own rate. There is no set date for walking, talking, forming complete sentences, potty training, rolling over, etc. The truth is, however that there are lots of things about a child's development that most people do not know.

A baby's infancy is an amazing period of time. Between conception and toddlerhood is an incredibly exciting time. Babies might not look like they do much all day but under the surface they are working like crazy to grow up! Even while a baby is in the womb he or she is sensitive to light. Your eyes are incredibly complicated devices. In order to work the right way your eye muscles need to have extremely precise coordination. Babies usually have working eyes by the end of the first trimester or very beginning of the second trimester.

Think about it: how often are you able to eat your own feet as a grown up? All babies know how to hold their breath and how to swim when they are born. It won't be long before your baby forgets how to do these things. It is this instinct that makes some doctors believe water births are best. Apparently the transition from the womb to independent life is easier with a water birth because the babies have spent nine months "swimming" inside mommy's womb. These experts believe that the water helps them smooth the way from being a totally depended fetus to being an independent baby much better than a regular hospital birth.

This could mean that a person's musical taste is instinctual instead of conditioned. Doesn't that astound you? Even though you want to avoid mercury, you can still have fish-just make sure it is a mercury free species! You've probably already had several people, including your doctor, recommend eating salmon because it is mercury free and contain a bunch of other stuff that is good for you and your baby. Some think if a woman eats fish while she is pregnant that she will improve her baby's brain function and that her child will develop better communication skills than a baby born to a mother who did not consume fish while she was pregnant.

The good news is that the tail does not have any effect on your baby's health and removing it should not be a problem. There are so many things about babies that are not well known-you will never get bored learning about child development. Everybody knows that babies grow up at an alarming rate. Do you know exactly how development occurs? Do you know all of the neat things that happen between conception and adulthood? There is no end to the number of interesting facts you can learn about babies-this article is a good example of that!
