SUMMARY

  • In the first year of their life, babies are developing rapidly. During this period, the weight of a baby may triple. However, the child’s constitution is not affected in any way because it grows very quickly. From birth to 6-months age babies normally grow 1/2 to 1 inch and gain 5 to 7 ounces a week. So, they often double their weight by the time they are five months old. In between 6 and 12 months of age, babies might grow 3/8 inch a month and gain 3 to 5 ounces a week. So, they normally triple their weight by their first anniversary.
  • Scientists have found out that babies cry with a national accent. Researchers have recorded cries of 60 babies born in German or French families and found they have the same melody as in their native language by the second day of life! They get it in the womb when hearing their mother’s voice.
  • According to scientists, infants are attracted by the smell of milk, which lures them. Some experts believe birth attendants should give Mom and baby at least an hour to bond and feed before they take care of the baby. This will give him a chance to follow the natural instinct and crawl to his mother’s breast and feed as nature has planned it.
  • The skeleton of a baby has about 300 bones. With age, many of them grow and coalesce into a single whole. So, a grown adult has 206 bones. But before the bones are connected, the body of a newborn is extremely flexible.
