Sure everybody knows that babies are cute and snuggly. They wear goofy clothes that are somehow still cute. At what other stage in life can a person wear a t-shirt that says "Daddy's Princess" without getting funny looks? Some think that being a baby is super simple. These same people seem to think that, except for an inability to communicate properly, babies are not that much different from adults. Babies are actually quite different from adults have their own sets of needs and wants. Here are some facts about babies that might be new to you. Babies can sense light changes even in the womb. The eyes are complicated devices that are made up of millions of nerves and fibers. You would be surprised by just how much coordination is needed for your eyes to work properly. A baby has eyes that are useful within a few months of being conceived. By the time your baby has spent six months growing in your womb, he or she will already be sensitive to light. Another amazing "eye fact" about babies: most Caucasian babies are born with blue eyes but will "settle in" to their permanent eye color by the time they are a few months old. If you are Caucasian your baby's eyes will probably be blue and then change later. So don't get excited if your baby has blue eyes at birth. That color will probably change. Some babies already have teeth when they are born—did you know that already? Other kids don't start getting their teeth in until they are between a year and eighteen months old. A baby's first teeth are momentous and dreaded by many parents. It is important, though to not worry too much if your baby seems to start teething early or late. Babies grow at different rates and even if you have other kids who started to get their teeth in at a specific age that is not a guarantee that this baby will follow suit. Babies have a harder time communicating verbally and often resort to physical communication until they learn how to talk. This is why so many parents teach their children sign language when they are babies. They teach their babies basic signs for food, wet, sleepy, etc and it helps the babies better communicate what they want and need from their parents. Studies show that babies who learn how to communicate physically before they can communicate verbally (through programs like "baby signs") have stronger communication skills as adults than those who were left to learn verbal communication first. There are new discoveries being made constantly about babies and infant development. What we know to be true right now could be debunked tomorrow! Is the confusion really unfounded, given how quickly we learn new things about babies? Thankfully, there are lots of ways to keep up with the research and discoveries. Babies are more complex than most people think. Babies are complex humans with a very specific set of needs. All mothers and fathers need to know how to communicate with their kids. Learning everything you can about how babies develop is also important. You'll be a better parent if you take the time to learn all about your baby. These guidelines may be helpful for yourself and for your child throughout and after the pregnancy.
