Did you know the common belief that all babies are Did you know the common belief that all babies are born with blue eyes is actually a myth? A baby’s eye colour at birth depends on genetics and brown is common too. My daughter , a newborn here, now 4, had bluey green eyes until around age one when they turned hazel. They sometimes look orange in the light too!! She was born with brown eyes though. My sons were both born with brown eyes which never changed colour. You should know your baby’s final eye colour by the age of 3. Did your baby’s eye colour change too? #newborn #babygirl #viral #research #parenting

Several studies have shown that chronic morning sickness means an increased chance of having a girl and one study even suggests that the more sick you are, the smarter the baby, girl or boy. A study at the University of Washington compared the gender outcomes of 2100 pregnant women admitted to hospital with acute morning sickness during their first trimester with a control group of 9783 women who did not get sick. The hospitalised group were more likely to have girls and those hospitalised for 3 or more days had an 80% increase in girls compared to the control group. Another study in Sweden found similar results. #newborn #babygirl #beingamom #motherhood #parenting momtomom grandmother pregnancy pregnancyfacts biology relatable science facts studies babygirls babyboy babygirl
