Mother and Baby facts

Did you know that?

A newborn baby has around 10,000 taste buds, far more than adults, they’re not just on the tongue of the baby, but on the sides, back and roof of the mouth. Eventually these extra taste buds disappear as the baby gets older.

The expectant mum has 206 bones. When babies are born, they actually have 300 bones. The newborn babies bones fuse as they grow, resulting in fewer bones as adults.

The intestines of a newborn are about 11 feet long. The length will double by the time the baby grows to adulthood.

Gifts for babies are generally bought once the newborn has arrived, with only 27% of people purchasing gifts before the baby is actually born.
