Amazing Facts About Newborn Babies

 

There is no doubt that babies are the cutest and most amazing creations in the world but it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are some things about babies we still don’t know. The people that think they know everything always tend to be wrong that why I have compiled this list of 10 amazing facts about newborn babies you may not have known:

1.      Crying

It is normal for every newborn to cry but what you might not know is the fact that newborns can’t cry tears at all until they are at least 2 weeks old meaning they would be crying but yoiu won’t see tears.

2.      Bones

As adults we have 206 bones but babies have 270 in total that is 64 more bones

3.      Growing

There is no doubt that babies grow quite a lot and very fast but what you might not know is that if a baby continued to grow at the same rate as in his or her first year, at 20 years of age he/she would be about 30 feet tall.

4.      Eyes

Our eyes don’t grow much as we get older, they’re already 75% their adult size when we are born.

5.      Black And White

Do you remember how you saw things when you were younger? Well a newborn baby sees things in black and white.

6.      Glucose

A baby’s brain uses 50% of glucose for his or her brain.

7.      Tastebuds

The average adult has around 10,000 taste buds but babies have about three times more than adults do.

8.      In The Womb

Now this is the most interesting and amazing fact, when someone is pregnant and the mother is sick, the baby will send stem cells to help repair the damaged organs of the mother.

9.      Swimming

Because of all the time spent in the amniotic fluid, babies are born with the ability to swim.

Babies can’t taste salt until they are 4 years old even though babies have three times more tastebuds than adults do.
