You might already have a fair amount of baby knowledge. Most people know that it takes babies a while to get to know someone. You know that they understand, instinctual, who their mothers are within moments of being born. Most people understand that each baby will develop at his or her own pace. Baby's do not follow a pre-set schedule for milestones. Unfortunately not many people understand child development beyond the examples already written in this introduction. Nothing is more interesting than watching a baby grow up. A life changes so much between the time it is conceived and the time it starts going to school. It doesn't look like babies do all that much in their first years of life but beneath that calm (and sometimes fussy) exterior is a factory that is working like mad to grow, change and develop!
Babies are full of surprises! At least half the things you thought you knew about babies might not even be true at all! Read on to learn more about babies and early childhood development!

Even while a baby is in the womb he or she is sensitive to light. There are millions of fibers and nerves that make up your eyes. The sheer coordination needed for your eyes to function correctly will astound you. It only takes a few months from conception to form working eyes. Sensitivity to light is displayed as early as the end of the second trimester. Another interesting fact about babies: most Caucasian babies will not show their "true" eye color until a few months after they are born. The blue color in your baby's eyes will probably change if you are Caucasian. Don't get too set on the color blue you see in a newborn's eyes. They might change before you know it!
You know about babies growing tails right? That's right! For the first few weeks after conception takes place your baby will grow a tail as he grows the rest of his vital organs.
Most people believe that babies do not know how to smile before they are born. Smiling is often attributed to gas or the baby's having to go to the bathroom-at least until it reaches a few weeks in age. For decades most people believed that babies had to learn how to smile-that it was a condition picked up by the infant early in life. Crying seemed to be instinctual so everyone thought it was simply easier for babies to show when they were displeased and that expressing pleasure was something they had to be taught how to do. Now scientists have learned differently. As ultrasound technology progresses, more people are able to see their babies smiling in the womb. Doctors are now able to give parents pictures of their children's' smiles weeks before the children are due to be born. Now scientists and doctors believe the reason babies do not smile for a while after they are born is because the process of being born is too traumatic.
