Babies are the most wonderful things on earth and they can make you the happiest. Even on the gloomiest days we will feel happy when we will see and hold a baby. Babies can give you some of the most beautiful moments of your life. However, people rarely know that babies are in many ways different from the adults in terms of their physiological processes and their habits as well. They are very unique and adults we have been unique as well, but are not aware of these facts and that’s a shame actually. We must know what we were when we were children as it will help us learn so much more regarding ourselves and also about little children and this will help us in bonding with them very well. Little babies shock us with their anatomical structure like they don’t have baby kneecaps; they drink their own urine in the womb etc. These are amazing facts that we rarely know about babies. Take a look at this article to learn more such amazing facts about new-born babies.

• Babies drink their own urine when they are present inside the mother’s womb. The urine gets mixed with the amniotic fluid and the baby drinks it. Nevertheless, it is not harmful for the baby. It is a part of the whole pregnancy process. According to some researchers, as the baby gets its food and nutrition from the mother so it doesn’t need to eat or drink anything and that is why drinking this amniotic fluid actually is a way of making the baby ready for future eating and drinking habits and it learns to swallow in the womb itself.
• Human adults have 206 bones whereas babies are born with 300 bones and as the baby grows up the extra four bones get fused with each other and these results in 206 bones together. So, your little bundle of joy actually has more bones than you do.
• Many people question that does baby have kneecaps and the answer is quite complex because the patellae or the kneecap is a type of cartilage when the baby is born. But as it grows the cartilage changes into a bone and that helps the human adult to carry his body’s weight on his legs. Whereas in babies the cartilage helps in crawling.
• Another unique quality of babies is that they can taste what they have eaten inside the womb. They can taste various flavour except salt and it depends on the kind of foods they are getting through the amniotic fluid i.e. it depends on one the kind of food the other eats. So, the mother is advised to eat healthy foods that will contain all kinds of tastes and flavours. Also, in this sense the mother is advised not to eat fast food and drink alcohol while she is pregnant.
• The baby can hear your voice inside the womb itself and that is why he/she can recognize your voice after he/she is born. The baby is especially attached to the mother’s voice and can recognize the mother’s voice juts after its birth.
