it has been a long time since I have had an infant and I was curious is if it is possible for him to be teething. He is a bit fussy and has been biting his fingers and binkii, he is about 10 weeks old now. He will also bite my pinkie. Also I know doc and wic recommend not giving cereal until 6 months but what was the age you all started giving cereal? My eldest is 10 years old now and I think we put a tiny amount in his bottle before bed and he slept longer at four months old.

8 Amazing Baby Abilities

For new parents the arrival of the newborn brings a lot of excitement in their lives. They might look fragile and vulnerable, which they are, but there are some surprising things babies can do, much to the delightful fun of many people.

Most of the babies can do the following surprising things to us:

1. They can hear everything! Babies hear extremely well: they receive up to 20 000 vibrations per minute, while adults receive only 14 000. The fetus starts to react to sounds since the beginning of the 24th week of pregnancy and a week after delivery they easily distinguish their mother’s voice from the voice of other people.
