So, yeah, on Weird Wednesdays, I'll post weird facts about topics I think up or which are suggested by the readers. Submit via comments or email if you have a suggestion. This week's topic is babies.
1. One in every 2,000 babies is born with a tooth.
2. Babies can't taste salt until they are about 4 months old.
3. The inner ear is the only sense organ to develop fully before birth. It reaches adult size by the middle of pregnancy.
4. In 1978, the first baby was born in Antarctica: Emilio Marcos Palma.
5. In the U.S., more babies are born on Wednesday than any other day of the week.
6. Between birth and their second year, babies usually quadruple in size.
7. A blindfolded woman is able to identify her child from other babies by scent alone.
8. Until 7 months old, babies can breathe and swallow at the same time. (Go ahead and try it; you can't.)
9. Babies are born with natural swimming abilities and can hold their breath. However, they quickly lose this ability.
10. A baby will eat an estimated 15 pounds of cereal per year.
