Most women have them at some point in their lives. They keep the world going 'round. They're born every 3 seconds. They poo a lot, scream a lot and deprive you of sleep, and then the next minute, they're smiling like a Cheshire cat. That's babies for you.
If you're a recent mum, you probably know all there is to know (and more!) about new baby gifts and Christmas gifts for babies; in fact, you could probably set up your own Mothercare. And if someone gives you another baby grow, rattle or baby bottle, you'll actually scream.
Baby Cradle Bumpers
But here are a few non- gift-related things you might not know. For instance, that the most kiddies one woman has ever had in a lifetime is - get this - 69? That a Russian peasant woman gave birth to 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets between 1725 and 1765?
Here are a few interesting titbits about our little ones. And be warned: they have more to teach us than you first thought. These facts will hopefully have you looking at your bundle of joy in a new light.
1. Heavy heads.Approximately one quarter of your little bambino's weight is made up of their head.
2. Uber-advanced hearing. Your baby is born with ultra sophisticated hearing and can work out where a sound is coming from just 10 minutes after being born.
3. Eating fish = mega baby brains. The best personalised babies gifts aren't necessarily personalised baby blankets and personalised name frames. The best pressie you can give your little'un is, in fact, fish. We all know eating fish is s'posed to boost our brain power. But eat it during pregnancy, and you'll have the next Stephen Hawking. What's more, eating fish will provide 'em with better communication skills. It's all about the fish, baby!
4. Men have more nappy know-how than women. That's right. Men, not women, are best at changing a baby's nappy. A recent survey revealed men take just over 1 minute while women can take over 2 minutes. What's that about?!
5. May babies are heavier. Research has shown children born in the month of May are more than 200 grams weightier at birth than children born in any other month. Surely given all the holiday eating, one would think that January sees the heaviest babies?!
6. Babies are smaller than a grain of rice. That is to say when they're in the womb at four weeks old!
7. Smiling is your baby's favourite exercise.Babies are born to smile. We know this because blind babies also smile, so it's not just copying.
8. Bony babies. When born, babies have 300 bones, but by adulthood, they only have 206. This is because some bones fuse together. Ugh!
9. No Kneecaps. On birth, your little one is kneecapless! Well, technically speaking, they have a structure of cartilage that looks a lot like kneecaps. They don't develop them until after six months.
10. A turned head = a full belly.Your bambino didn't just see something exciting. If they turn their head at a spoonful of food, it's because they're full.
11. As strong as an ox. Pound for pound, your little papoose is stronger than loads of animals, an oxen being the best example of matching strength. Your little super baby has mega-strong legs.
12. Babies come first. Even when they're in the womb, your baby is numero uno, dinnertime included. Using the umbilical, they take the nutrients they need and leave mum the rest. That's why it's so crucial for a woman to eat healthily during pregnancy.
From the very moment she or he is born, your little cherub is capable of so much. And these are just a few ways a baby demonstrates his or her brilliance.
So, as well as treasuring the personalised new baby gifts you receive from loved ones, remember (and treasure!) these 12 amazing facts about your miracle of life. While personalised door plaques, personalised placemats,and so forth, are great-looking gifts, not to mention highly personal, let's face it; they ain't half as beautiful or brainy as your little angel.
