He's a year and 2 months old now. But he has been doing that since a month after he was born. Hardly sleep at night and during the day. Disturbs a lot. To the extent that I felt he was doing it on purpose. Not that he was sick or something. I think he took it after me, coz I hardly sleep.
Waoh...Thats rare, i know babies are only restless during teething or when sick.

That baby will have ijangbon like, being like that means you guys too will always stay up.

The days of one naira ice water with 2 naira Garri and sugar for Taurus, hiding at the corner to eat alone to avoid incuring the wrath of those "tirogo'boys, jumping the fence close to Mr Ologunagba's quarters to go play Mario at home. Can't but remember mama Abusola wey dey sell moimoi for school shop. Those teachers wey sabi punish we the stubborn goats too nko, Oga Holifield, Ori Ikan, Mr Adetoye, Mr Ayeni and a whole lot of them. ACA my Alma mater! ACA we love!!

Send me a link to the source where you got this from please. It will help down the road. All those talking about infertility, why hasn't postinor been stopped. You think this is done by Nigerians with so much irregularities? This is a multi-million dollar opportunity. Anyway, we all can't always reason alike.

See the guy boot, the days of folders. Big boy dont carry backpacks then we used folders, Cross trekkers/African champion&Kito....grin

Days of hunting grasshoppers on the field.

Days of ice poki poki, days when you buy #1 ice water, garri, groundnut & sugar. You will untie the water, pour the garri, groundnut, sugar, tie it back, shake together & start sucking.

Days when you will pour gari in your chest pocket, remove the the ink of your BIC biro, remove the head, and start sucking the garri with the biro while lesson is going on. One bigger garri particle can block the pipe.

When we go to school everyday with one cover of takeaway bowl to throw on the field during break.

26. Newborns Recognize Mom's Voice At Birth.


When a baby is born, their hearing isn’t 100% up to par.

The middle ear is still full of fluid which tends to impair the hearing some what. The one sound they are able to recognize is the sound of mama’s voice.

They respond to this sound above all others.

25. They can remember what they've tasted in the utero.


As told earlier, newborn babies cannot taste salt, but they can taste other flavors, and they can taste those flavors while they're still in the womb, starting from about four or five months into pregnancy.

Amniotic fluid is believed 
to be affected by the food the expectant mother eats, which, in turn, is believed to affect a baby's flavor preferences after birth.

If a pregnant mom eats a lot of garlicky foods, for example, the baby will taste that in her amniotic fluid in the womb, and will have a good chance of being drawn to garlic-flavored foods after birth.

24. They cant taste salt.


Young babies are born with a well-developed sense of taste, but not for salt.

Studies show that babies can't taste salt until they're about four months old.

They can taste other flavors as well as adults can, especially sweet, bitter, and sour flavors.

20. A newborn has coping mechanisms to help if she becomes too cold or too hot. If a baby is cold, she will move around more to warm herself up. If she is hot, she will fling her arms and legs out of the side, as if she's sunbathing. If you see your baby exhibit these behaviors, check the temperature.


21. Right after birth, a newborn's pupils dilate. This helps parents fall in love with their new baby because this is a sign that she thinks you're attractive.


22. Immediately after birth, your baby can take five to 10 minutes to become used to something new in her environment. By the time she is three months old, your baby will be able to adapt between 30 seconds and two minutes. By the time she's six months old, she'll adapt in just 30 seconds.


23. When they're very young, a baby's sense of smell is quite developed. It's much stronger than yours and a newborn uses his sense of smell to get to know his parents. Avoid strong smells like fabric softener, perfume, and shampoos to help your baby know who you are.

19. Though babies are born with working tear ducts and glands, initially they produce tears only to lubricate and protect the eye.

However, these glands develop with time and start producing enough teardrops.

18. Your baby is connected to your emotions and your feelings even before he's born.

Researchers had pregnant women listen to different types of music via headphones and then tracked their baby's movements with an ultrasound.

If the mom was listening to music that she enjoyed, the babies moved around more. While many babies move around when music is playing, the headphones meant that the babies were responding to their mother's emotions and not the music itself.

17. Babies smile an average of 200 times a day.

Adults smiles less than 50.

16. While a baby is still in the womb, if the mother suffers any kind of organ damage, the baby will send stem cells to that organ in order to help repair it.

15. Part of the reason that babies sleep a lot is because they use up to 50% of the body's glucose supply in their brains.

Comparatively, adults use only around 20% of the body's supply.

14. Superhuman Strength.


When something touches a baby's palm,they instinctively clutch it.

This phenomenon is known as the Palmar reflex and it's vital for developing motor skills in babies.

13. The place with the most developed nerve endings on a baby's body is the mouth, which is why they put so many things in there.

It's not until they are seven months old that babies explore things with their hands.

12. Babies cry in different accents.

They learn the accent that their mother speaks and try to imitate it when they cry.

This makes it possible to tell a German baby from a French one or even an American baby.

Family › Re: Amazing New born Facts: How Much Do You Know About Your Babies? by Explorers(op):
11. Newborns can only see in black and white for the first few months of their lives.

This is because the nerve cells in the retina and brain that control vision are not fully developed.

They also can only see about a foot in front of their face.

The first color they are able to distinguish besides black, white, or gray is red.

Their vision only allows them to see people and objects at their clearest when they are within 8 to12 inches away.

10. Most babies have aninnate swimming and diving reflex until they are about six months old. This helps them survive if they are placed in water.

They will instinctively hold their breath, their heart rate will decrease, and blood circulation to their fingers and toes is reduced.

However, these abilities quickly disappear.

Family › Re: Amazing New born Facts: How Much Do You Know About Your Babies? by Explorers(op):
1. Neuroscientists theorize that babies don't dream for the first few years of their lives because their brains aren't quite developed enough for it.


2. Up until about 1985, doctors conducted surgeries on babies without the use of numbing medicines because they believed they didn't feel pain. This was because infants don't have a conscious memory and the pain wouldn't cause any long-term harm. They also found it impossible to determine the level of a baby's pain since they can't speak or react like a grown person.


3. A mother feels compelled to kiss her baby because she will ingest any bacteria/viruses on the baby’s skin, thus creating antibodies that go into her breast milk. They will protect the baby from possible infection.


4. If you lay a newborn baby on a mother's stomach, it will crawl up and attach to the mother's nipple because it has a similar smell to amniotic fluid. This is also why babies suck on their fingers they usually have amniotic residue on them right after they're born.


5. Babies and their mothers can exchange DNA while the baby is in the womb. The cells can live in the mother for years.


6. At birth, babies do not have kneecaps but they dohave a structure of cartilage that resembles kneecaps. They usually don’t develop them fully until after six months.


7. A new born baby breathing rate is 40 breathes per minute. However, the respiratory rate for a healthy adult at rest is 12–20 breaths per minute.


8. A baby has about 270 bones at birth. As the baby grows, some of the bones, such as those in the skull, fuse together. This is why adults have only 206 bones in their bodies.


9. A baby has three times taste buds as adult. In addition to their tongue, new born babies have taste buds on the roof, back, and sides of their mouth.
