You already know that babies are cute and fun to snuggle. They get to wear super cute and goofy looking clothes. At what other stage in life can a person wear a t-shirt that says "Daddy’s Princess" without getting funny looks? Most people think that there isn’t much to being a baby. Many people believe that babies are merely small humans who are fully formed (except that they need to learn how to talk). Babies are actually quite complex creatures who have very specific needs. Here are some facts about babies that might be new to you.

Many colors look almost identical to babies when they are born. A baby’s eyes are still developing when she is born and the synapses between and her eyes and her brain are not yet mature. This is one of the reasons why babies respond better to primary colors whey they are used in a room or on toys. You should focus the color scheme for your baby on bright reds and blues and greens or even on black and white. Pastels are better for adult eyes.
It is their colors that make some toys more popular among babies than others. It is kind of a cruel joke that the decorations most parents find hideous because of their garish color schemes are actually the decorations (and toys) that are best for their children’s eyesight and brain development! All babies know how to hold their breath and how to swim when they are born. The instinct fades rapidly. It is this instinct that makes some doctors believe water births are best. Apparently the transition from the womb to independent life is easier with a water birth because the babies have spent nine months "swimming" inside mommy’s womb. These experts say that being born into water helps ease the transition of birth and makes it less traumatic than the process they’d face by being born in a "traditional" hospital birth.
It’s pretty much common belief that babies learn to smile long after they have entered the world. Smiling is often attributed to gas or the baby’s having to go to the bathroom-at least until it reaches a few weeks in age. For more than a century people believed that smiling was an activity taught to babies by their parents. It was widely believed that it was easier for a baby to learn how to express unhappiness than it was to learn how to express happiness. Now, however, these theories are being debunked. As ultrasound technology advances, people are seeing their children smile while they are still in utero. Many families have been given ultrasound pictures of their smiling children weeks before they are due to be born. The belief now is that the birthing process is traumatic for the baby and that it takes a while for the baby to get over it and "learn" to smile again.
