Newborn Baby Questions and Answers

1.

When newborn babies cry, they produce tears. True or False?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
False. Newborn babies typically do not produce tears when they cry. Tears are produced by tear glands, which may not yet be fully developed in newborns. It usually takes a few weeks for tear production to begin. Therefore, while newborn babies may cry, they often do not produce tears during the first few weeks of life.

Babies are born without which body part?
- A.
  
  Kneecaps
- B.
  
  Elbows

  Tailbone

Correct Answer
A. Kneecaps

Explanation
Babies are born without kneecaps. Kneecaps, also known as patellas, are small bones that develop later in childhood. At birth, babies have a cartilaginous structure in place of kneecaps, which gradually hardens into bone as they grow. This is why babies' knees may appear softer and more flexible compared to adults. The other body parts listed in the options (elbows, tailbone, and shoulder blades) are present at birth.

- B.

The color of a baby's eyes is determined by the amount and distribution of melanin in the iris, which develops in the womb and can change in the first few months after birth. While some babies are born with blue eyes, others may have brown, green, gray, or hazel eyes from birth. The final eye color is usually determined by around six to nine months of age.

B. One-quarter the size

Explanation
When a baby is born, their head is typically one-quarter the size of their body.

The proportion of a baby's head to their body gradually changes as they grow older and their body catches up in size.

Correct Answer
C. Breathe and swallow simultaneously
