Facts About Babies Most People Don't Know

By Logan Baxter


Most people know at least the basic baby things. Most people know that it takes babies a while to get to know someone. Most babies are able to recognize their mothers immediately after being born, but you already knew that. 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. Infancy is a fascinating period in human development. A life changes so much between the time it is conceived and the time it starts going to school. Those little bodies might look like they can't accomplish much but the fact is that those babies are working really hard to grow up!
Did you know already that babies are not very good at telling colors apart? A baby's eyes are still developing when she is born and the synapses between and her eyes and her brain are not yet mature. This is one of the reasons why babies respond better to primary colors whey they are used in a room or on toys. You should focus the color scheme for your baby on bright reds and blues and greens or even on black and white. It is difficult for a baby to tell the difference between softer or more pastel shades.

Usually, by the time a woman realizes that she has missed her period; her fetus's heart is already working. It only takes about three weeks for a baby's heart to form and start working. It is pretty much right around this date that a woman realizes that she is pregnant. Are you impressed that it only takes biology twenty one days to build a beating heart from something that starts out as a single celled organism? Isn't it marvelous that biology made the foundation of your most important muscle in such a short time? You're already aware that a fetus can hear sounds while he is still in his mother's womb. Many studies have been done to prove that sounds can carry through a mother's body and that a baby can react strongly to the sounds he hears. The ears of an infant are sensitive to different decibel levels of sound-both inside of and outside of the womb. Even before the baby is birthed, his ears are very sensitive. Doctors r

The ears of an infant are sensitive to different decibel levels of sound-both inside of and outside of the womb. Even before the baby is birthed, his ears are very sensitive. Doctors recommend that, while women are pregnant that they keep their music, televisions, etc below the level of a modern vacuum cleaner. If you must listen to loud music, wear headphones as this will cut down on the noise inflicted on your baby considerably-some doctors even think that vacuum cleaners are too loud so keep the noise to a dull roar as much as you can.

Did you know that at one point your baby had a tail? It's true! In addition to immediately beginning to build major organs, your baby will also start to form a tail during the first few weeks after conception.

The tail will begin to disappear as the rest of the baby's body takes shape as it grows inside the mother's womb. The process is sort of like the way a tadpole's tail gets swallowed up by the body of the frog. Some people have extra long tails that do not get completely absorbed and are born with small tails that are still intact. If this happens the baby's parents have to decide if they want to have the tail removed or If they simply want to wait and hope that it goes away as their child grows up.
