Newborns can do things that no adult can remember. Their intuition and genetic memory are of interest to many scientists. Their small organisms are perfect and all actions are as nature intended them to be.

Step 1
The birth of a child is a complex and natural process, it cannot be compared with anything like the newborn itself. After birth, several tests are performed on the baby, with the help of which they know the degree of his nervous development. From the very birth, children can rest their feet on the surface, there is even movement in the form of steps. Babies grab your fingers with theirs, they find the breast with their mouth and grab it on their own. These are all called innate reflexes. Reflexes were created by nature for the survival of the human cub, so that he does not get lost from his mother and does not remain hungry. By the way, to remind of himself, the newborn learned to cry. Already in the womb, children make a variety of sounds. We know this as soon as a small miracle is born.
Step 2
Almost all babies are born with blue eyes. The real "adult" eye color is formed much later. Therefore, do not worry that the child does not look like you in eye color. With age, not only the color of the eyes will change, but, possibly, the shape of the face and even the color of the hair.
Step 3
Newborn babies have a reflex called a defensive reflex. It works when the child gets something in his mouth or buries his face in the pillow. If there is a foreign object in the mouth, then the child will quickly push it out with the tongue. If the baby sleeps on his stomach and accidentally lies face down in the pillow, he will automatically turn his head to one side. This is called the choking defense reflex.
Step 4
Newborns breathe about twice as fast as an adult. And their breathing is correct - with a diaphragm, which not every adult can boast of. The heart rate in babies is also doubled.
Step 5
Newborns sleep a lot. Sometimes sleep reaches 20 hours. But this is cumulative. One dream can last as little as half an hour to two hours. This is due to the nervous development of the child. With age, the child's sleep will decrease threefold. Contrary to the belief that children sleep exclusively in silence, they can sleep even under loud noise. Ideal for children to sleep with "white" noise. This is a noise that is heard monotonously, like a heartbeat, like internal noises of the body, like a vacuum cleaner, washing machine, hairdryer and much more.
Step 6
Children cry without tears. This is due to the fact that the lacrimal sacs and passages are not yet fully developed. Tears and drooling in a child appear at the age of two months. And at 3 months the first teeth can erupt. Only a few out of many babies can be born with teeth that soon fall off.
Step 7
The baby may be born hairy. Hair can be not only on the head, but all over the body. Don't worry, the "first" hairs will fall out, and real strong hair will grow on your head. And also, from a constant horizontal position, the hair on the back of the head can be erased. This is also considered the norm.
Step 8
Newborns have more bones in their bodies than you and me. In the future, small bones grow together, and the number will become equal over time. Surprisingly, babies do not have knee caps until they are 3-6 years old.
Step 9
The most distinguishable feature of newborns from older children is the fontanelle. This is the soft part of the head where there is no bone. It pulsates and you may notice arteries or veins in it. The fontanelle helps during childbirth to shrink the large head of the child in the birth canal. You can touch the fontanel, there is nothing wrong with that, you will not damage the baby's head or his brain. Closer to a year or a little later, the fontanel is completely overgrown.
Step 10
In little girls, you can see blood on the diaper. Do not be alarmed, this is a natural process of changes in the baby's body. Mom's hormones, while still in the womb, stimulate the baby's uterus, so bleeding is inevitable. They pass in the first weeks of life and disappear without a trace, right up to puberty.
Step 11
If you closely follow the newborn, you will notice that he becomes lively, fussy, active as soon as the mother comes closer. Thanks to the developed sense of smell, the baby smells milk and therefore behaves this way before the upcoming snack. By the way, in the first month of life, the baby's stomach is no more than 30 ml.
Step 12
Swimming is another neonatal reflex sign. Babies know how to swim from birth. And swimming is good for physical development. In the water, children feel calm, as if they were "at ease", because before birth, their element was amniotic fluid in the mother's stomach. Babies are great at holding their breath and diving. Try splashing water on your child's face, he will hold his breath.
