Pregnancy is a memorable time in a woman’s life, but it’s the end result that’s even more incredible. The gift of a child is remarkable and a newborn baby is one of life’s most perfect creations. Their teeny tiny little hands and their downy heads beg to be kissed and just looking at those little faces will have you weeping with joy. I wish I could bottle up that stage forever and yet it comes and goes in an instant.
A couple of months ago we highlighted the most amazing facts about pregnancy (some of these will really blow your mind!) and I wanted to do the same but for babies. For example did you know a baby can crawl as soon as they are born.
Psychologists in America were surprised to find that a newborn can have a very elementary knowledge of physics and math. A baby is able to tell the difference between one, two, and three objects. If one is taken away or added, she may even know how many remain. Babies will show clear surprise if one is taken away unexpectedly.
Babies are always listening even before they're born. Even a baby as young as two days old will recognize his mother's voice, even if he only hears one single syllable.
Although your baby can cry at birth, you won't usually see any tears for a few weeks or months. Tears can appear at three weeks, but some babies won't have tears until they're four or five months old. Stress hormones are found in tears and releasing these hormones is a way to calm your baby down. Stress tears are unique to people no other animal has them.
Your baby has a specific cry that you can recognize just three days after birth. Researchers have found that a new mom can pick out her baby's individual cry even if there are other crying babies in the room.
Scientists in Norway found that if a newborn is placed directly onto his mother's stomach right after birth, the baby will start to use his arms and legs to slowly crawl to his mother's breast to nurse. The newborn then latched on and started to nurse unassist.
