Facts About Babies That You Might Not Know - Twitter, twitter ...

Childhood development is fascinating. Learning about the way a baby goes from his infancy to manhood will astound you. There is a lot more to infancy than you might think. Babies are adorable and very complicated beings. They each have individual needs and wants that parents need to take care of to make sure that development occurs the way it should. There is so much more to infancy development than most people realize. The more you know about how your child is growing, the better you will be at parenting!

An infant’s body is made up of three hundred individual bones. After a person finishes growing up he or she only has two hundred and six bones. 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. Even while a baby is in the womb he can hear sounds, but you already know that. There are studies upon studies proving that babies will react strongly to the sounds that have reached them through their mothers’ bodies. Did you know, though, that decibel levels are just as important while the baby is in the womb as it is once the baby is born? The ears of an unborn infant are extremely sensitive. Most doctors agree that while a woman is pregnant and that while her baby is still young that she keeps all of the sounds in her house to levels quieter than her vacuum cleaner. You will soon learn that even your vacuum cleaner might be too loud for your baby so keep the noise level to a minimum and try to avoid heavy traffic or construction when you leave the house as it can be too loud as well.

Did you know that at one point your baby had a tail? That is no lie! Your baby’s tail starts to form at the same time that the other organs like the brain and the heart and the lungs begin to develop.

As your baby grows inside of you the rest of his body develops and the tail usually ends up disappearing-it sort of blends in to the rest of the body as it grows. The whole process is similar to the way tadpoles grow up to be tail-less frogs. Not everyone completely outgrows their tails-some people are born with tails that are still partially intact. Surgical removal and waiting for it to be grown into are the two options that are available to parents whose babies are born with intact tails. Thankfully, the tail has no bearing on the rest of the child’s health and can be removed without worry.

There is lots of baby knowledge out there that is not well known. Oddly, many adults are better able to approach a situation calmly if they have a lot of knowledge on the subject at hand.

Learning about babies and how they function can help you be a better parent. What are you waiting for?
