New born babies look fragile and helpless when held in your hands for the first time. The fact is new born's are actually incredibly durable and capable little things in some ways that will blow your mind. BOOM!
1. Newborns Can Swim
A group of scientist decided one day that it will be a good idea to dip 36 newborns' faces into cold water and just see what happened. Surprisingly, instead of committing mass infanticide, they discovered something amazing - the babies instinctively knew how to hold their breath. They survived and evening came out smiling and giggling. Babies can also kick and move their legs in a doggy-paddle motion that actually keeps them afloat. The experiments proved that newborns have an instinctive ability to dive and swim. Researchers also found that we lose this ability when we turn six months old, also discovered through an experiment that went slightly less well.
2. There Is No Limit To The Amount Of Sugar A Child Can Enjoy.
Sugar doesn't react in a child's body the same way it does in adult's. A child's body is begging for sugar, so it has a lot of positive effects. In fact for kids it serves as a natural pain reliever.
They're designed to like it - and there's no limit to how much they can take. Adults will describe anything with more sugar than a can of Coca-Cola as too sweet but kids have no limits.
3. Newborns Can Crawl - As Long As It's Toward A Boob
Normally, children don't start crawling until they're 7-10 months old. As it turns out thats because they don't have the right incentive. If a baby's motivated enough, you can get them to crawl as soon as they come out of the womb. An experiment was conducted on babies immediately after they were born.The child was dried, laid on the mother's chest, and not fed - just to see what would happen. For the first 15 minutes, the children just laid there. After a while they started to spontaneously suck at the air, and before the test was done, the babies actually crawled over to the mother's nipple and started sucking. So you can get your baby to crawl, all it takes is about an hour of leaving a new born child to fend for itself. Haba!
4. Newborns Have The Same Effect On Mothers As Drugs
If you've ever seen a mother holding a newborn baby, you've seen a woman looking happier and calmer than she's ever looked in her life. And there is reason for that - it's because that baby is messing with chemicals in her brain.
As soon as mother becomes pregnant, her body starts producing oxytocin. It's a chemical that comes out in our bodies in all our happiest experiences. We get it when we fall in love and when we have sex, and it flushes us with a sense of calm and well-being. Mothers get a surge of oxytocin when they make skin to skin contact with their babies and it makes them euphoric.
5. Babies Can Speak Dog Language
Your baby might not be able to understand every word you say, but she can understand somebody else - your dog. A study on six month-old babies found that babies can understand a dog's barks -even if they've never seen a dog in their lives. The study played recordings of vicious and friendly dog barks to the babies while showing them pictures of happy and angry dogs. They found that the babies looked at the happy dog when they heard a friendly bark and at the angry dog when they heard an angry bark. The babies could instinctively understand the tone of the barking.
Although the babies could match the barks to the pictures, that doesn't mean the babies knew how to react. Even when the dogs were angry, the babies seemed to giggle and smile throughout the game. So you might not want to live your baby alone with a dog.
6. Newborns Can Eat As Much They Want Without Getting Fat
It turns out that you don't need to worry about your baby's weight.Newborns have something called 'brown fat' that can burn calories at incredible speeds. They have a lot of it, too. It makes up about 5 percent of a newborn's body mass.
The purpose is to keep babies from dying from cold. When the temperature drops, the brown fat produces heat and burns calories like nothing else. So much so that 85 grams of stimulated brown fat can burn 400 - 500 calories per day. Some scientist are so jealous of babies fat burning powers that they're trying to find ways to get those powers into adults. For now, though, this special ability is for babies only. Sorry,
Feel free to tell us in the comment section of any baby abilities or powers we didn't include. Thank you. Yes Boss.
