1: Babies sometimes scare themselves,
Babies belong to the kind of people who [I cry and even fear myself]
When the baby is frightened, the two small arms may be straightened, the fingers open and the legs straight. In fact, this phenomenon is called “startle reflex” in medicine and usually disappears within 3-5 months after the baby is born.
However, sometimes there is a surprise reaction, which may also be the baby’s vitamin D deficiency. If the baby has this problem all the time, parents should pay attention to it.
2: The baby’s first lump of poop is not smelly,
The reason why poop stinks is mainly because after we eat something, food will produce stink after being decomposed by bacteria.

What we are talking about here is only most of the cases. Oh, some babies have tears from the first time they cry.
4: Babies sometimes do not breathe,
Does it sound a little dangerous… In fact, sometimes babies will have apnea for 5-10 seconds when they fall asleep, which is mostly a normal phenomenon and premature babies are more common.
Generally speaking, doctors will only diagnose apnea if premature infants have apnea for more than 20 seconds and full-term infants have apnea for more than 15 seconds.
Therefore, if the baby’s breathing only stops for a moment, parents should not worry too much.

8: Baby’s brain approaches adults in 18-24 months,
The process of brain development can continue from being in the mother’s belly to adulthood, and some special development occurs fastest in the first year of birth.
