Category: You are an Amazing Baby

Precious little one you are beginning on an awesome journey like no other.

Parents when you are watching your little tyke growing and developing, especially so much at the beginning of their new life.

There are many cool facts I have heard and would like to share with you about your little miracle.

Infants are born to dance – You are an Amazing Baby

They are born with the ability to respond to the rhythm and the tempo of music, they find the music,

more pleasing than even speech. Music helps give added literacy skills, while developing strength

and endurance. As they dance and jump around, they are happy and full of joy.
It is a lot of fun for

all, as well as provides health benefits for baby too.

Surprising how early babies can identify rhythm in the music, it is good to introduce music as early

as possible, Babies familiar with music have better literary skills, they are learning to decode words

and sound

The baby’s brain will double in size over the first year, making it 60% of an adults brain.

It seems impossible that their little head has billions of cells eager to get to work, ready to

develop the connections necessary for everything from their first cry, first step, first diploma,

to a lifetime of loving and socializing. The brain is so active during the first few months,

as many as 1 million new neural connection form every second, 60% of baby’s energy goes

into the brain.

Taste buds – Infants have a sweet tooth

and sour. I’ve heard that Breast Milk is said to be sweet, that is why they like it so much.

Sodium at about 4 months.

Your little tyke has about 30,000 taste buds, they are on the tonsils, back of the throat, as well

as, the tongue. Adults only have about 10,000. Babies use their mount to explore, and

learn . Their mouths give them a handy way to know different textures and taste, it can

be a none food item as well as food, this is called mouthing.

No Kneecaps – But lots of Bones

This is a surprising tidbit. Babies are born without real Kneecaps, they only have cartilage,

it begins growing into a bony kneecap around 3 to 5 years, expanding into a real kneecap

about 10 to 12 years old. While on the other side of the bone story, baby has 300 bones which

decreases into 206 when they have all fused together, having the same 206 as adults do.

Do Newborns have swimming talents – You

should see their legs and arms go

Baby gives the appearance of swimming, But Sorry.

When placed in water on their tummy their heart rate slows down, they hold their

breath. But more incredible is that they naturally move their legs and arms.

However, the American academy of Pediatrics don’t recommend swimming program

for infants till 1 year old. The little ones don’t have enough strong to hold their head above

water, also their not old enough to hold their breath long enough. They could drown.

The Baby has Hair in the Womb – How about that

Have you ever imagine your sweetheart with fur, or a beard or how about a big old

mustache? OF COURSE NOT!

In the womb your little one, at about 14 or 15 weeks, baby’s tiny hair begin poking

through their skin slightly. Hair follicles are formed before the 22 week.

The tiny hair continues poking through till baby is covered by soft material call lanugo (hair). This keeps baby

warm. As they grow more they add fat to their body, that then keeps them warm.

At that time the lanugo (hair) starts to shed. Most newborns have lost all the

hair by Birth.
