Every day is a surprise when you have a baby! Think of what you know about babies and toss half of it out-you've been given a lot of bad information! This article will teach you a few things about babies whom you probably do not already know.
Even before a baby is born, he is sensitive to light. The eyes are complicated devices that are made up of millions of nerves and fibers. The coordination needed for the eyes to function properly is extraordinary. It only takes a few months from conception to form working eyes. Your baby will be sensitive to light changes by the time your pregnancy is six months along. A great piece of eye trivia: your baby's eyes might change to 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. Babies born with blue eyes often do not keep that eye color. So do what you cannot to let your heart get set on having a blue eyed child. Your baby's eyes will probably change color!
Odd as it might sound, some babies come out with some teeth already in place! Other kids don't start getting their teeth in until they are between a year and eighteen months old.
No parent looks forward to having their baby start teething. It is important, though not to worry too much if your baby seems to start teething early or late. There is no guarantee when it comes to childhood development even in a family with lots of kids-your baby will grow at the pace that nature has intended for him and him alone.
Your doctor will tell you to stay away from fish because it contains mercury but there are fishing that is mercury free, and they can be quite good for you. Eating salmon while you are pregnant is good because salmon is chocking full of healthy nutrients for you and your baby, and it does not contain mercury the way other types of fish do. Some people believe that if you do not eat fish than your children will not have the same high levels of brain function or the same high skills for communication as those children born to women who did eat fish regularly while they are pregnant. There is no need to worry if you are not a big fan of fish-this is still just a theory.
