15 Baby Facts

By Joseph Jacob


All new babies have a puggy nose. The bridge from the nose isn't really there at the time of delivery - it grows afterwards - so infants have a very compact `button' nose.

Approximately all infants are born with blue or blue-grey eyes. Long-lasting eye colouration develops in the following months.

New children might cry a lot however they never generate any tears. There may be dampness to lubricate and clear the eyes but tears really don't start to appear until the baby is between three and twelve weeks of age.

Any hair that is on the new baby's head will before long fall off - to become replaced by long term hair (which may be of an entirely distinct colour) at about 6 months.

All newborn toddlers have a very ruddy complexion. This is due to their blood which has a substantial number of red blood cells.

4 out of ten toddlers are born with a minimum of just one birthmark.

The most common working day on the 7 days for babies being born is Tuesday. Less infants are born on Saturday or Sunday than on almost every other day of the 7 days (while this might simply be for the reason that doctors and midwives do not like being on duty on the weekends).

Toddlers possess a strong sense of smell. By the time he's 1-7 days old a newborn can identify his mom by her smell.

Toddlers are genetically programmed to respond to human voices - specifically feminine voices. Infants can differentiate between distinct sounds very quickly.

Infants have significantly astute sense of taste - however, most want sweet tasting liquids.

Infants have extremely weak vision. Their eyes are focused on a location about 8 inches away - so you must get definitely close for your little one to see you clearly. Babies choose taking a look at curved lines somewhat more than straight traces.

Contrary to the old wives' tale, babies are usually not color blind. They prefer strong primary colours - specially pink and blue.

The heart of a newborn beats between hundred thirty and a hundred and sixty times a minute (about 2 times that of the typical grownup).

Infants breathe a great deal more rapidly than adults - 30 to fifty times a minute when compared to an adult's fifteen to twenty times a minute.

Toddlers normally sneeze and snort in their sleep to clear their nasal passages. Only when they grow up can babies breathe through their mouth if their nose is blocked.
