If you’re like me you may feel your newborn is a bit “boring” the first few weeks. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my child from day 0. Thing is I guessed I expected my little boy to play catch or Xbox 360 with me right away. Well, what I got was a lot of sleeping, some crying, and poopy… yes, I said poopy.

So for parents out there that understand where I’m coming from, well, we may be wrong. Our babies are not as boring as we think. I stumbled upon some very interesting baby facts that make our little ones more interesting than we can ever be…

*And now, I present to you fun facts about babies:

  • Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adult we have only 206 in our bodies. The reason? Some bones fuse together later.
  • Children born in the month of May are on the average 200 grams heavier at birth than children born in any other month.
  • A newborn baby’s head accounts for about one-quarter of it’s entire weight.
  • According to researchers at the University of Texas, babies like pretty faces better than plain ones.
  • A fetus in the womb can hear. Tests have shown that fetuses respond to various sounds just as vigorously as they respond to pressures and internal sensations.

This is just a sample of interesting and fun facts about newborns and babies. Read about more fun baby facts here
