Interesting facts about newborn babies

Good sense of smell

Newborn babies have a good sense of smell and can identify their mother by smell. Over time, the sense of smell dulls.

 Statistics

Scientists have found out an interesting fact - the largest number of babies is born on Tuesday, and the least on weekends. What caused this, experts do not yet

Head shape

The baby's head retains an elongated or flattened shape for some time, this is because during childbirth the bones of the skull go one after the other. So it is easier for the baby's head to pass through the birth canal.

 Visual features

The baby's vision also has interesting features. A child distinguishes objects at a distance of 28–30 cm. And for the first 2 weeks after birth, he can see the world around him only in black and white. The kid loves toys and objects of exactly bright colors, because it is easier to focus on them. Surprisingly, newborns blink very rarely, about 2 times per minute. Doctors cannot yet explain this interesting feature

Eye shape and color

All mothers notice that the eyes of newborns seem large and deep. This is due to the fact that the shape of the eyes does not change, it remains the same for life as it was at birth. Another amazing property of babies is that almost every child at birth has a gray or blue eye color. This happens due to a lack of melanin (pigment), the constant color of the iris appears closer to six months

Respiratory rate

Babies breathe in much more often than adults. If adults breathe with a frequency of about 18–20 times per minute, then newborns - about 45. Surprisingly, babies cannot breathe through their mouths, this ability will appear after the first cold.

Respiratory system

The baby's respiratory system is different from that of adults - a newborn can swallow milk and breathe at the same time. This ability lasts up to about 9 months, after which the larynx drops, the articulation apparatus becomes more complicated.

Skeleton

At birth, a baby's skeleton consists of 300 bones, while an adult has only 206 of them. "Extra" bones grow together and strengthen over time.

 Weep

In infants under 1 month of age, tears are not produced when crying. This is because the lacrimal glands are severely narrowed or blocked. Also, scientists have identified an interesting feature of children's crying - newborns copy the intonation of their mother, whose voice was heard in the womb. An experiment was set up in which German and French families participated. It turned out that in French babies the intonation increases, this is typical for the French language, and in small Germans, it descends, which is typical of German.

Swimming

Newborns can swim on their own. They are even able to hold their breath. Babies acquire this reflex during intrauterine development, being in the aquatic environment. In this case, the baby can not only swim, but also dive.
