Babies are pretty amazing, in the eyes of mums anyway.
But did you know how amazing? Here are a few facts about your baby's abilities that you probably didn't know...
Babies can actually breathe and swallow at the same time
They can do this miraculous thing at around six months. Why they'd need this skill, we're not so sure.

If you’re loving their big blue eyes, don’t get too attached too soon. Until your baby is six months old, the colour is not a fore-gone conclusion.
