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.
Before you buy another outfit, ask these five questions. A JuneBee Baby guide to choosing children's clothes that fit longer, get worn more, and are loved enough to be passed on.
The secret to getting more from a child's wardrobe isn't buying more clothes — it's choosing pieces that mix, match, and grow with her. Meet the Lucy Tunic Top and Bloomers Set: one heirloom knit set that becomes outfit after outfit, season after season.
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!
I am so happy it arrived on time and your son looked adorable in it for your family pictures. Thank you for choosing my artisan shop.
