Womb experiences are remembered

What your baby experiences in the womb during the 8th and 9th months, he/she often remembers after birth. For instance, sounds heard during the third trimester are likely to be recognized. Your child may even distinguish familiar sounds such as your pet’s voices and may not react to voices already familiar from the womb.

Fine hair falls out completely

Newborn babies are born with dense hair covering their bodies, but this typically doesn’t last long. By around four months of age, they shed this initial layer of hair and grow a completely new head of hair. The original hair often covers areas such as the baby’s back, ears, forehead, and shoulders.

Super-strong grip

Newborns possess a surprisingly strong grip from birth, a reflex known as the Palmar grasp reflex. When you place your finger in the palm of a baby, they can grip it with significant strength, sometimes enough to support their own body weight for a brief moment. This reflex is thought to be a primal one, linking back to our ancestors who needed to cling to their mothers for safety.
