1. All babies are born knowing how to swim
This secret sounds ridiculous, if newborn babies are born with swimming skills, everyone should be able to swim when they grow up, right?
However, according to research, all babies are born with the ability to swim, this is related to the period of 9 months and 10 days the baby is floating in the amniotic fluid in the womb and this ability will quickly increase. quickly disappears after the baby is born.
2. Newborns don’t cry tears
Crying without tears is one of the mysteries of babies that many mothers do not know. Although babies can cry a lot, the truth is that babies don’t cry. Why is that? This happens because a newborn baby’s tear glands are not fully developed right after they are born. At this time, children are usually only able to make their eyes a little watery to moisten their eyes, but not yet able to shed tears. Your baby’s first tears may appear as early as 1-3 months.
3. Most babies have hair loss
Most babies lose their hair in the infancy period between 3 months and 6 months of age to change their hair. After that, new hair will grow to replace the lost hair. If the baby has “buffalo dung”, “buffalo dung” can cause hair loss and inhibit new hair growth. However, this is not a cause for concern because “buffalo poop” can go away on its own or the mother uses methods to treat buffalo dung for the baby. Therefore, after a period of time, your baby’s new hair will grow back. For many babies, it takes about a year (that is, until the baby is a year old) for the hair to grow well and stop falling out like before.
4. A child’s brain contains about 100 billion nerve cells
A baby’s brain at birth is made up of 100 billion cells, and this number increases exponentially as the baby’s brain begins to develop. Infancy is a period of rapid growth and change. Cortical neurons (front and top of the brain) are formed at the time of birth, but cerebellar neurons – the area at the back of the brain involved in controlling activity, perception and perception, remains formed during the first years of a child’s life.
5. About 80% of babies have a birthmark
This is a newborn mystery that is sure to surprise moms. Researchers have shown that one in three babies has a birthmark on their body. The percentage of girls having less than boys.
6. Your baby’s kneecap is made entirely of cartilage
After birth, your baby’s kneecaps should be called patellar cartilage, because they are made entirely of cartilage. Even with a one-year-old baby when the X-ray was taken, the patella still didn’t show up. It is not until the baby is 3 years old or older that this cartilage is gradually replaced by bone.
