Little Known Baby Facts

By: Onishi Salvatierra

Learning about the way that kids grow up is very interesting. The complexity of how a child goes from being a zygote to a functioning adult in just a few years is fascinating. There is so much going on beneath the surface of infancy! There is more to being a baby than simply being cute. Babies have very specific needs that must be met or they will not grow up properly. There is a lot more to infancy than meets the eye. Being a parent is easier if you understand what is going on as your child grows from baby to small kid to teenager and onward.

A baby is born with three hundred bones. There are only two hundred and six bones in an adult's body. Contrary to how this sounds, you never actually lose bones-some of the individual bones that you are born with simply fuse together to form single bones. Some people think that this is one of the reasons that babies are so much more physically flexible than adults, because some of their bones are still able to move about independent of each other. There is some logic to this-after all, when was the last time you could put your feet behind your head?

Your baby, in spite of not being able to talk right away, will amaze you with the range of sounds that he or she can make almost as soon as he or she is born. This is because the larynx (or voice box) is still developing after babies are born. Adult voice boxes have already begun to stiffen up, which is why babies are better at creating new sounds. Babies quickly start to assign the sounds they make to the things that they want or need. It is because of this that a mother is able to learn what a child wants just by listening to him cry for a few seconds. Did you know that the first words a baby says are almost always simple vowels separated by consonants he can make with the front of his mouth? In a baby's vocabulary "mama" usually comes after "dada" because it is harder for babies to learn how to make the "m" sound.

Did anybody ever tell you that when babies first start to grow, they grow a tail along with their other limbs? 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.

Eventually the tail will disappear because the rest of the baby's body will grow and mature-the tail sort of gets absorbed into it. It is not unlike the way frogs develop from tadpoles. 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. You won't have to worry about the affect to your baby if you have the tail removed-it does not affect your baby's health and the surgery is pretty simple. Many people are fascinated by babies. There is no real proof that states just how babies learn the things they do or how long it takes them to learn those things. Babies are constantly growing and changing and watching them mature and develop is something everyone should experience.
