It can take as little as 12 hours for your newborn to like looking at your face better than anyone else’s.
Oh Baby! That’s Right.
We’re sorry.
Researchers found that infants as young as 12 hours old showed a strong preference for watching their mothers’ faces rather than that of a stranger.
Babies are born with no sense of taste.
We’re sorry.
Oh Baby! That’s Right.
Babies enter the world with a developed sense of taste. And would you be surprised to learn that they prefer sweet tastes right from the start?
When newborn babies are happy, they smile.
We’re sorry.
Oh Baby! That’s Right.
While that smile looks really cute, it’s probably not intentional and may even mean your baby has gas. A genuine "I’m happy" smile may not appear until two months or so. Of course that shouldn’t stop you from smiling each time you look at your precious bundle.
A baby should be able to suck from either a breast or bottle soon after being born.
Oh Baby! That’s Right.
We’re sorry.
Babies are born with an innate sucking reflex. Soon after birth your baby should be able to latch on to a nipple (either breast or bottle) to feed although he may need a little help at first.
Your newborn will most likely weigh twice as much by six months.
Oh Baby! That’s Right.
We’re sorry.
Boy do they grow quickly in that first year! You can expect your baby to double his or her birth weight within 5 to 6 months.
