Almost everybody understands that babies are sweet and cuddly. They wear adorable and funny looking clothing. There are so many things babies can wear that adults would be mocked mercilessly for wearing. Most people think that being a baby is pretty easy. These same people seem to think that, except for an inability to communicate properly, babies are not that much different from adults. Babies are actually quite complicated and have very distinct needs and very unique abilities. Here is some (hopefully) new information about babies.
Babies have three hundred bones in their bodies when they are born. By the time a person reaches adulthood there are only two hundred and six bones in the body. This makes it sound like the bones disappear but the truth is that many of the bones that are separate at birth fuse together into larger bones as children grow up. It is the presence of these "extra" bones that makes people believe that a baby has more flexibility than an adult, because the bones have a wider range of motion. Think about it: how often are you able to eat your own feet as a grown up?
This is why a baby will sometimes choose one toy instead of another. It is kind of a cruel joke that the decorations most parents find hideous because of their garish color schemes are actually the decorations (and toys) that are best for their children's eyesight and brain development!
Teething is a process that many parents fear more than they look forward to seeing. There is no reason to fret if your child starts teething earlier or later than his peers. Babies grow at different rates and even if you have other kids who started to get their teeth in at a specific age that is not a guarantee that this baby will follow suit.
It's pretty much common belief that babies learn to smile long after they have entered the world. If a smile is detected it is blamed on gas. 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. Common thought said that learning how to express happiness was harder for babies than learning how to express displeasure (which is usually done through crying). Now, however, these theories are being debunked. Ultrasounds have gotten a lot better in recent years and prove that babies can smile before they are born. Now families are given ultrasound pictures of their smiling children many weeks before the children due date. Doctors now think that babies seem to "learn" how to smile because it takes them a few weeks to get over the trauma of having been birthed.
