Below are facts about babies am sure u didn't know before. I found it funny, scary and amazing when i first saw it, so lets see how you react to this facts below....


25 To start off with a
bang, every three
seconds a baby is born
on Earth

24 Babies learn to
recognize the sound
and smell of their
mother almost
immediately.
Recognizing her visually takes a few
weeks longer.

23 80% of infants are
born with a birthmark

22 They also have 300
bones. While growing
bones fuse together
and as an adult they
will only have 206
21 Babies can't actually
cry because they can't
produce tears. For the
first few weeks they're
basically just
screaming

20 Some scientists have
suggested that
shaking your head to
mean "no" comes
from the fact that
babies turn their heads away from food.
when they are full

19 Newborn babies do
not have kneecaps.
These take at least six
months to develop.

18 Babies actually grow
mustaches while in the
womb. The mustache
grows until it covers
the entire baby's body.
This hairy coat is called lanugo and is shed
shortly before birth.

17 During the first five
months of life, babies
double in weight.

16 According to a U.S.
government report,
the United States has
the worst infant
mortality rate of any
developed country. In fact, a baby in the US
is nearly 3 times as
likely to die as a baby
in Finland.

15 This is not because
healthcare is worse in
the US. Actual live
birth rates are almost
the same across all
developed nations. The US lags behind
because once babies
leave the hospital,
lower income children
have a much smaller
chance of reaching their first birthday
than their
counterparts
elsewhere.

14 Why? The U.S. has one
of the highest rich-
poor gap of any
developed nation and
privatized healthcare
in the US is not as available to lower
income families,
whereas public
healthcare in other
countries offers even
the poorest citizens medical attention

13 Unfortunately for
similar reasons the US
also lags behind
everybody else in
maternal mortality
rates

12 Enough of the
depressing statistics,
did you know that
when you were in the
womb you had
tastebuds on the roof and sides of your
mouth as well as your
tongue?

11 Babies sometimes
sleep with their eyes
open

10 They can also breathe
and swallow at the
same time

9 Babies are super
strong relative to their
small size. In fact, they
can easily lift their
own body weight

8 Lina Medina, a 5 year
old girl from Peru, is
the youngest
confirmed person to
ever give birth

7 The best chance a
baby has of surviving
is when its mother is
22 years old. This is
known as the "age of
fecundity".

6 Every baby is born
with natural
swimming abilities.
This quickly disappears
though.

5 Babies prefer the
rhythm and cadence
of their mother's
native tongue at birth.
This suggests that
language learning actually begins before
birth!

4 In some parts of the
world female
infanticide (killing or
abandoning baby girls)
is a major problem. By
some estimates almost 30 million girls
are "missing" from
China

3 Every hour a baby dies
in the US because of
SIDS (Sudden Infantile
Death Syndrome)

2 Newborn babies are
more likely to turn
their head to the right
than to the left

1 A Russian peasant
women had 69
children between
1725 and 1765. This is
the most ever
recorded.
