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. 

 

Babies eyes change colour

 

 

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.

 

Deaf babies babble using sign language

 

You know how most babies babble, and eventually that babble turns into proper language? Well, deaf babies who are exposed to sign language do something similar!

 

A baby’s tastebuds aren’t just on their tongue

 

 

Yep, babies have way more tastebuds than us, and in other places. They’ve got 10,000 odd tasters on the sides, back and roof of their mouths.  

 

A baby with a twin has a 22% change of becoming a leftie

 

 

That’s more than double the 10% likelihood of most babies.

More or less the only time in life when this is acceptable! Enjoy it, kid…
