1 BIRTH
When a newborn baby is placed on his mother’s stomach so that she can embrace him, it is no accident that the umbilical cord is of just the right length – approximately 20 inches – to make this possible while the baby is still attached to the placenta.
2 THE BABY’S HEAD
The bony plates of a baby’s skull remain separate after birth. Small gaps between them are covered by a tough, membranous tissue that is strong enough to resist all but a sharp, direct blow. The plates eventually touch, forming wavy sutures which become harder and stronger until the skull is fused; in most cases, this takes between 18 and 24 months.
3 BODY TEMPERATURE
A full-term newborn has a secret weapon – “brown” fat. This special type of fatty tissue, which burns calories, makes up five per cent of the baby’s body and is located in the back, shoulders and neck. It liberates heat through a special chemical process if the baby’s body starts to cool unduly.
4 REFLEXES
If a parent presses their forefingers into the palms of a newborn baby’s hands, his tiny fingers respond by curling tightly and clinging on. Amazingly, if the parent then gently lifts the clasped forefingers, the baby’s grasp is usually so strong that his whole body can hang in mid-air, with his bent fingers supporting his weight.
5 HEARTBEAT
The resting heart rate for an infant (115 pulses per minute) is about the same as that of an adult who has been performing strenuous exercise.
6 BONDING
A baby can identify his mother by her unique body fragrance and a blindfolded woman has the ability to identify her child from a host of other babies by scent alone. A sleeping mother can identify the cry of her baby, too. She is programmed to wake only at the sound of her particular infant.
7 BABY FACE
Adults respond to particular features – found in their most exaggerated form on a baby’s face. These include a large forehead, a button nose, big eyes, fine hair and a small chin. When an adult sees an unfamiliar baby face, so powerful is the instinct that the brain reacts within one-seventh of a second.
8 BIRTH WEIGHT
The average weight of a baby at birth is 7-8lb, but the smallest baby ever to survive (a premature one) weighed only 8.5oz at birth. The heaviest weighed in at 22lb.
9 SKELETON
The exact number of infant bones varies but there are usually about 270 at birth compared to an adult, who has 206. The reductions take place in the central skeleton, owing to the fusing together of bones in the spine and skull. A baby is born without ossified kneecaps – these do not develop until he is two years old.
10 SLEEP
During his first week outside the womb, a typical baby sleeps for 16.6 hours out of every 24 in as many as 18 separate naps. By the age of six months, his total sleep time is 14 hours, and by the age of five, it is down to 12 hours per day.
11 LEFT AND RIGHT
One in 10 children is left-handed; from studies of ancient axe handles, we know this bias has existed for at least 200,000 years. A clue may lie in the fact that the majority of babies lie in the womb with their right sides closer to their mother’s body surface, therefore it receives more stimulation during pregnancy.
12 TOUCH
Girls are more sensitive to touch than boys – on average, girls just a few hours old react to a weak puff of air against their belly and squirm and cry more than boys when uncovered. Other investigators have found that plenty of skin contact produces babies who cry less and are healthier.
13 INTELLIGENCE
The brain of a child is much busier than that of an adult. In the brain of a newborn, there are about 2,500 synapses (connections between brain cells) attached to each of the 10 billion neurons or brain cells he possesses. In a two-year-old, this number rises to 15,000 – more than in the brain of adults, who lose some of these connections over time, as the ones that are used less are eventually eliminated.
14 SELF-AWARENESS
When a toddler reaches the age of 15 months, a moment of truth arrives. He looks in the mirror, waves his hand, and the “other person” waves back in exactly the same way. The child realises that what he sees is himself and not another child. Apart from human toddlers, only chimpanzees, orang-utans, dolphins, elephants and just one gorilla have managed this with any certainty.
15 GENDER AND BRAIN
Even at the 26th week of pregnancy, it is possible to distinguish a male foetal brain from a female one. Male babies have brains that are more asymmetrical than female babies. They also have more white matter and less grey matter. In female brains there is more symmetry in the “higher association cortex”; the part of the brain that deals with complex mental processes.
This is two fold. One, they are probably doing something they shouldn’t be. Two, you may miss some milestones. I missed the first time my son pulled himself up and it sucks.
Absolutely everything gets a taste test.
Here is the drill. Baby picks something up or finds something. It goes right into the mouth. Every time.
If you go out into public, prepare to be bombarded with baby talk.
I don’t do baby talk. I say silly things yes, but I always use the correct pronunciation. People always walk up and use W’s for R’s and stuff like that and its irritating.
I always sing to my son. I’m not bad but I’m definitely not great. If you forget the words, just throw some random stuff in there or repeat what you last sang. Trust me, they wont notice.

Loving Your Child
Zig Ziglar
As a young father, my mother frequently said to me, “Your children more attention pay to what you do than what you say.” She also repeatedly said that if you “set the example, you won’t need to make many rules.” Later in life I heard someone else say that rules without a relationship lead to rebellion. I believe the statements my mother made, combined with the other one, can lay the basis for a marvelous relationship and the raising of positive, morally sound, successful youngsters in our racist, sexist, and violent society of today.
My friend, Dr. Jay Strack, says that “When you repeatedly express your acceptance of your child, you are giving that child the knowledge that you really do love him or her and that’s what gives them that all-important sense of security.” He points out that when you express your appreciation for your child, you’re giving him or her a feeling and sense of significance which, obviously, is tremendously confidence-building. When your child sees that you pay attention to your mate and to your employer, as well as to adults of your acquaintance, they make the association that these other people are important, so when you make yourself available to your child for conversation and activities, that very availability gives your child a feeling of importance.
Dr. Strack also points out that when you demonstrate genuine parental affection on a regular basis with hugs, pats and motherly or fatherly kisses, you’re letting them know they are loveable.
To sum this up, when you give your child a feeling of security, significance and importance, and the knowledge that he or she is loveable, your child who is going to be secure, confident, loving and grateful. That’s a pretty good start on life. Take those steps and I’ll see you – and your child – at the top!

Forget about keeping anything on a shelf that is only a couple feet high. I don’t care how many toys they have, they always want what they are not supposed to have.
