It is a widely understood fact that babies are adorable. Even when they wear funny looking outfits they’re adorable. There is no other stage of life when a person can wear loudly patterned clothing without having to deal with snide comments. Being a baby certainly does not look all that difficult. The majority of the population seems to think that babies are fully formed adults except for their inability to speak in complete sentences. Babies are actually quite different from adults have their own sets of needs and wants. Here are some things about babies that you might not have known already. By the way, be sure to read up on ways to stop bedwetting!

Babies can sense light changes even in the womb. Millions of fibers and nerve endings connect together to create your eyes. In order to work the right way your eye muscles need to have extremely precise coordination. Babies usually have working eyes by the end of the first trimester or very beginning of the second trimester. Sensitivity to light is displayed as early as the end of the second trimester. A great piece of eye trivia: your baby’s eyes might change color a few months after she is born-Caucasian babies are born with blue eyes and it takes a few months for the eyes to change to their permanent color. If you are Caucasian your baby’s eyes will probably be blue and then change later. Try not to get too attached to those bright blue eyes! They might not stay that way!

The vocal range of babies is very impressive; even if it does take them a while to use those vocal cords to make words that adults can understand. This is because the larynx (or voice box) is still developing after babies are born. It is due to this that a baby can make more sounds than an adult can make. It doesn’t take long for a baby to learn how to assign a sound to an object or idea. This is why a mother can usually tell if her baby’s cries mean that he is hungry or tired or that he needs a diaper change. Another interesting fact is that most babies’ first words are simple words that involve the consonants and vowels that are made with the front of the 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.

While we all know that babies cry to signal distress or the need for some form of attention, you might not know that a baby does not cry tears until he or she is a few weeks old. Tears contain stress induced hormones. This hormone secretion is the main reason that stressed out people cry: the body ridding itself of that hormone helps calm everything down. This hormone does not get created until after a baby has been born. The stress hormone does not usually start to show up until the baby has been out of the womb for at least a few weeks. Still other babies can take up to a few months to show signs of actual tears (remember, every baby is different).
