7 Strange Things That Happen to Babies

[@SciShow]

During the 6th section, Your Larynx Drops from Your Head into Your Throat, we mention that the high larynx position lets babies breathe while drinking, but this is a common misconception. Scientists put this to the test in the 1950s by giving babies barium-spiked milk and x-raying them as they drank. In those experiments, and more research done since then, they’ve consistently found that babies stop breathing when they swallow because the epiglottis seals off the larynx and the soft palate closes off the nasal cavity, like in adults. This misconception may be so popular because babies are actually really good at coordinating their feeding and breathing. And if they’re born full term, they can rhythmically suck, swallow, and then breathe. So, in a way, they can breathe and drink-they just can’t breathe and swallow at the exact same time.

[@sakatababa]

@@frostythesnowbob607 well, if you reduce a dimension of time-space you will end up with flat earth. you will end up with flat universe as gravity is consequence of four dimensional space-time construct we perceive now. to clarify, if you reduce third dimension you will end up with flat universe with temporal flux. if you reduce fourth dimension you will end up with universe that will end up flat because there is no temporal flux, i.e. you could literally walk to the past so there is an infinite flatness inert in such a system. of course those are just as much real as a shadow of a cube is compared to the cube casting the shadow. it is my hypothesis that our brains are just over engineered sensory organs we produced to perceive time, much like we developed eyes to perceive space. following that train of thought one can't avoid wondering if flat-earthers are just having brain malfunction and are missing an important function of the most important sensory organ.

[@CesarMartinez-ml4ml]

@@sakatababa gurl I just read this and like... I think our eyes were developed to perceive light. Kinda how some animals that don't need them... Don't have them. Biology is probably not the problem with flat earthers, I think it's that u can't prove a sphere earth to them through argument because they always have a but to whatever point you make. They're usually healthy looking individuals too lol. I think the peoblem ain't that deep. It's just people's stubbornness lol

[@sakatababa]

@@CesarMartinez-ml4ml wrong gender. light is just a small set of electromagnetic waves that are reflected or radiated from various objects. vast majority of all come from stars. as our eyes are sensitive enough to perceive such specific wavelenghts from distant objects in great detail they clearly evolved to perceive space, not just light. they are, indeed, species with just nerve endings designed to perceive amount of light so they can know if it is day or night but they use other senses for their immediate surround area and are lacking depth perception we have. ffs we see as far as to begining of galaxies with our eyes. understand it is past with our brains. health of ones brain can be surmised from their reasoning and actions. flat earthers have some logic malfunction, clearly. like a broken circuit in ancient computer that is giving wrong output. replace the transistor that is not working properly and you have working machine again. as our brain is developing constantly and has plasticity as one of its traits we can help them with positive influence and facts. just send them to space...

I'm a huge advocate of teaching babies simplified sign language. I work with a 17 month old and before he was walking he had already learned simple words like "food" and "more" and even "where/where is it" Tongues are really hard to manipulate and babies are able to understand concepts a lot earlier than they are able to verbalise. A signed language helps babies communicate their needs earlier and also helps with later language acquisition.

[@samuela-aegisdottir]

My step mother taught simplified sign language when my sister was little and It worked great. They were able to communicate easier and she started to speak verballly at a young age with a great succces. It reduced the number of frustration which children and their mothers have when not understanding each other. I will do this with my children as well.

I am constantly reminded by my baby that if I were in his situation as an adult, I would be constantly freaking out. Waking up in a strange place? New noises and experiences every day with no context to understand them. Discomfort that I can't explain or fix on my own... All I'm saying is babies are extremely chill considering the craziness that is life.

Wow, this is the FIRST TIME I've ever heard a scientific discussion of eye color change. As a kid, and up until my teen years, my eyes were hazel, then have gotten lighter and lighter over time going to green and are now almost blue. Thank you Sci Show, I'm not imagining it!

I always find people talking about the genesis of language in children really interesting. I was a “feral kid” (not of the raised by wolves type, but of the extreme neglect/treated like an animal/raised with the family animals/as one of them type), and it took 6-8 years of speech therapy to teach me to talk fluently when that situation stopped. So I still kind of remember learning to talk (something a lot of people seem not to?) because it was later in my childhood than most and such a Weird Experience.

As a sufferer of childhood trauma, the neuronal connections interests me. Because, even after 20 years since the onset of the trauma, I can remember some of the worst of it so vividly, and especially the feelings I had at the time, I wonder if my brain kept those pathways open because of the stimulus. I have complex PTSD, and I've heard of theories that childhood onset of PTSD actually rewires the brain due to its plasticity at that age. It sounds like that's the connection.

typically babies leave the uterus once the outside world offers more than being inside the uterus. Babies cry at birth automatically to help them start breathing, not because they want to go back in.

I think the weirdest thing for me personally and my development was how my hair changed. I had super curly hair as a baby, toddler, and young child. Then at around 5, it started getting straighter, until by the time I was 6 or 7, I had totally straight hair. Then when I hit puberty? Went super curly again. Now that I'm done with puberty it's not QUITE as curly as it was when I was a teen, but it's still very curly. It's just.... tamer now lol

Well I think the reason for all languages having things like verbs and nouns is more of a thing about describing and differentiating actions and objects because otherwise you as an example couldn't hold apart a bird and a plane who both fly or you wouldn't be able to pinpoint their similarities since you don't have the word flying to describe it, so it might be hard wired into us but only because it is a necessary thing to have in a language in order for it to cover the needed complexity of the human communication

In regards to eye colour, what about people who have changing eye colours all their life? Not to sound like a fanfic Mary-Sue, but aside from one rust-coloured ring around my pupils, my eye colour shifts between green, blue, and grey. My mother's eyes also switch from shades of blue and grey, while my father and both my sisters have brown eyes. Most days, my eyes settle in the green-grey realm. I'm 27, and it still shifts regularly. Is it a fluctuating level of melanin? Or what? I've also seen this trait in a few other adult friends, and I've always wondered about it.

Item #2. I wonder if that's what causes the isolated kids to never gain the ability to speak, or it's very basic. If their brain never used those neurons, it makes sense that they would've been broken off and dissolved.

Luckily it doesn't happen (isn't reported?) very often.

Not all linguists buy the innate grammar thing. There's perfectly good evidence that children are just capable of analyzing stimuli and working out how language works through trial and error. I mean, that's what they would need to do even if they did have an innate grammar because all languages have different grammars. The similarities between human languages can be explained by them all being very very distantly related to each other. In fact if children did have an innate grammar you would assume there would be more similarities between languages.

Body temperature control in young children is often compared to whales ability to stay underwater for long periods of time. It is often referred to as "mammalian dive syndrome". Cold water flowing over a child's face triggers a systematic response slowing and altering metabolic activities in the body. This effect on the Childs body is so profound that children can be resuscitated after hours underwater. This is most effective if the water is cold. Could you do a show on fetal development in humans. I was born with a "timing defect, where my body did not fully transit from early female fetus that we are all born with, to a male. One of my testis remain as a ovary, rather than the testis it should have developed as. Yes I'm intersex, at least to the extent I have just one of the 40-50 intersex conditions that are known about.

I see a lot of channels do list videos that are half the length of the list but this is the best way. Make the whole thing 2 minutes longer than the list.

[@princebankz7012]

I'm 14... :O I'm getting even smarting

When you talk about fontanelles, you have actually painted out the unfused sutures. Fontanelles are places where the unfused sutures meet.

you're missing the weirdest thing: oedipus complex.

What if your eyes still change colours, but in a more quick way, like sometimes when I look in a mirror, my eyes are yellow or green, and when I'm looking at something far away, my eyes (according to other people) are usually blue. Is it cause perhaps that my eyes are quite close between green and blue so depending on what light hits them can make them change apperance? (kinda like that dress thing). Also however, if I think my emotions are also connected to something like that, for example, if I am feeling relaxed, peaceful but also curious, and are looking at something naturally bright and lit up (by the sun) but not so much you have to squint, my eyes can become such a light blue that they look like wolf eyes and are quite white and peircing. (could you do a video on this? I have heard from some other people I know that they know someone with eyes that change colour, also btw my eyes don't turn black or brown, but have been purple (weird right))

Even Sci show is using buzzfeed titles. Man, I think I'm unsubbing,

[@MrBeaner97]

Boo boo I rate the quality of content based on the cover!

[@EpicB]

If the content of the video is good, who gives a damn?

[@forbernard8113]

k bye

[@LofferLogge]

The title actually describes the content of the video pretty well. It is true that, like Buzzfeed articles, the video itself is a list of weird things. But I don't think that's a reason to dislike the video.

[@emmabaxy3965]

K see ya

When I was little (I don't remember exactly at what age, but I was younger than 4 years), and my aunt called us on the phone, I answered it. Instead of saying hello or her name, I said "ears" (but in greek). I think I said that because I put the phone on my ear (like everyone does). That was really weird. I didn't know I said something wrong at that time, but a few years later when I grew up, I understood that I said something really weird. Does this explain something about learning language as babies?

Fiiirst

[@turoni314]

First reaction, can't say anything about viewing the actual video

+Mysterious One lol aight, spam for going to their channel 2 seconds after they uploaded aight, aight

[@healthystrongmuslim]

I think this is the first time I've noticed someone other than Sr. Foxley being President of Space since he took office.

[@katieberg3238]

My brother growing up had green eyes. Then suddenly, one night when he was around 18, his eyes turned brown...

[@fourkurodani9924]

The change of eye color happened to me. I was born with dark, very blue eyes, but now I have incredibly dark, almost black, brown eyes.

[@chistinelane]

4:02 quick quiz: which one is more adorable?

[@alexwang982]

chistine lane Doggo!

[@CesarMartinez-ml4ml]

I kinda wished they would've added how people with photographic memory who can remember their birth come to be ! :0 so weird. Probs would've confused some people since that sounds like a video of its own, but still would've been neat to see how they differentiate from regular folks :3

[@MerkhVision]

“Your giant baby head” is a hilarious phrase lol

[@BmoreQueen]

My eyes were green and eventually moved to hazel in my early 20s.. when I was a teenager, my eyes would turn yellow quite often

[@saurabh2693]

My Dad was hoping I would keep blue eyes to match his, but mine became brown by one year old

[@TildaM1994]

what causes grey cloured or violet eyes? as i grew my eyes went from blue to steely grey. would be interesting to know how the less common eye colours occur.

[@janelle_is_artsy]

Everyone: Yay! Hank is back.

[@ffgtium5791]

I once knew a guy who had blue eyes, except that one of them had a small blob of brown. This blob covered about 1/8 of his iris. How does this happen?

[@chapstic593]

This happend to me . At one point in my life I had a blue eye on the left and green eye on the right. They both eventually settled into green eyes.

[@nateslovebug]

Congratulations, Hank!

[@AliciaBurrito]

Interestingly enough, my sister went from having brown eyes to blue. The doctors freaked out stating it was impossible even though they witnessed it themselves.

[@teresamesa]

ah thank yoou! in baby pics i had blue eyes as a one year old, but my family tells me that's impossible.
