Babies can breathe and swallow at the same time

Babies' eyes are 75% their adult size when they're
born
Now you won't be able to unsee the fact that baby eyeballs are gigantic
compared to their heads. You're welcome! Oh, and upon birth, babies'
vision is 20/400 (extremely near-sighted), but by the time they're six
months old, it should be 20/20. |

fall asleep it's very common for babies' eyes to stay open (and roll
around in the sockets). So if your child starts doing this, the good
news is that it isn't possessed. The bad news is that it's really
freakin' creepy to watch. |
