If you’re anything like me, you’re constantly amazed by the tiny humans you’re raising, right? :-)
There’s so much to learn about babies—things we wouldn’t believe unless we saw it for yourself!
So, here’s a little list of fun baby facts that will make us all smile. Enjoy!
No Tears, Just Big Feelings Did you know newborns can’t cry real tears? Their tear ducts are still developing. So, while the sounds might break your heart, there won’t be any tears for a while.
Babies Have Extra Bones Babies are born with about 300 bones—more than adults! As they grow, many of those bones fuse together. It’s like their bodies are designed to be flexible little adventurers.
No Kneecaps Yet Fun fact: Babies don’t have kneecaps at birth. Instead, they have soft cartilage that’ll eventually turn into those little bones we all know. No kneecaps, no problem!
They’re Flexible Because of all that cartilage and extra bones, babies are super bendy. It’s why they can twist and turn in ways that seem impossible for such tiny bodies.
Birthmarks Are Common If your baby has a birthmark, don’t worry. Most of them are temporary and will fade as your little one grows. They’re just part of your baby’s unique story.
Eyes That Change Ever noticed your baby’s eye color changing? It’s common. Babies born with blue eyes might have them shift to brown or green as their body develops.
Accents Before Words Crazy but true: Babies can actually start picking up accents before they can even speak. Those sounds you make around them? They’re listening, and it’s shaping their little future voice.
They’re Nearsighted Newborns are nearsighted, meaning they can see clearly only about 8-10 inches away (perfect for looking up at your face :-). Their vision will get sharper as they grow.
Hearing From the Inside Your baby can hear you before they’re born. Around 20 weeks, they start listening to sounds like your voice. So yes, talk to them— they can hear you.
Natural Swimmers Okay, they’re not winning any Olympic medals, but babies actually have a reflex to swim. It's all instinct—cute, right?
Mom’s Voice Is Familiar Here’s the best part: Your baby recognizes your voice before birth. Imagine how comforting it must be to hear the sound of the person they’ve been listening to all along.
We, moms are living through something truly amazing. Every day brings new discoveries about these little beauties we’re raising. The more I learn, the more I can’t help but be in awe.
Our babies are full of surprises, and that’s what makes them so incredibly special.
Sending love and awe to all you mamas out there—keep soaking in the wonder.

June made sure our son’s romper made it in time for our family pictures and checked in multiple times to make sure we were all set. We have gotten so many compliments when he’s worn it out and I can’t wait to see him in it in our family pictures!
The Taylor Cardi has quickly become a favorite in our wardrobe! The soft, breathable knit is perfect for any season. The delicate lace and scalloped details are simply stunning, and the colors chosen are just beautiful. Handcrafted with love, it’s a true treasure.
My daughter loves her Taylor Cardi! It’s light, cozy, and the scalloped edges are the sweetest touch. The vintage-style lace is beautiful, the colors are stunning, and like all JBB pieces, it’s hand knit with care. A perfect addition to our collection.
The Taylor Cardigan is my daughter’s newest favorite piece from Junebeebaby. The vintage inspired details like the scalloped trim and cuffs and the tri-colored stripes are beautiful.
