New And Unusual Baby Facts
Did you know that babies are born with three hundred bones in their bodies? When a person becomes an adult there are only two hundred and six bones in his or her 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. Many believe that this is one of the main reasons that a baby is so much more flexible physically as an adult-because the bones are able to move independently of one another in infancy. When you see how easily babies can move and compare it to your own physical limitations this might be a plausible theory for you.
Before they are born most infants are able to understand and recognize different songs and music types. By thirty four weeks of life the baby is able to recognize different songs. This means that the baby spends more than a month in the womb being able to identify different types of music! Some women say that they will sometimes feel their babies moving to the rhythm of some music. So a person’s musical preference does show up before the child is conditioned to like one type of music over another. Aren’t you excited about that?
Everybody knows that babies use crying to communicate their need for service or attention but did you know that the baby does not cry real tears until he or she is almost a month old? Tears are made up of water and hormones that are excreted when a person is under stress. This is one of the reasons that stress makes people cry: the body forces the stress induced hormones out of the body to calm itself down. Babies do not produce these hormones before birth. Sometimes real tears take a few weeks to show up because it takes the baby a while to begin producing the stress hormone. It takes other babies a few months to begin producing the hormone and crying real tears.
