5 Amazing Superpowers of Babies You Probably Didn’t Know About

By the end of the day I want nothing more than to close my eyes and relax while my kids are full of energy even at that time. Interestingly even when my kids are drained of energy, they get more hyper and faster. My daughter speaks rather fast, her jumping frequency increases and my son goes ballistic. They are both in the infancy age group. The point is that boundless energy is not the only superpower that kids have. We have listed ten powers that are literally going to give you goosebumps and you might not want to stay alone in your baby’s room again. Here are some of the amazing superpowers of babies!

1. Einstein Brains
   
   We would not, due to our innate superpower of holding biased judgement, think that babies can be smart. After all they soil themselves and they put anything, virtually anything in their mouths. Yet, science has proved that babies have incredible brain power- much better and greater than that of adults. Babies can soak up information and knowledge in amounts that would leave an adult genius crying.
2. Super Hearing Power
   
   Babies can hear everything manifold better than adults. Researchers say that this ability is also vestigial and is linked to our ancestry when an amazing sense of hearing was the key to survival. Infants could probably pick up sounds from the womb if they put their ears close enough! This ability too dwindles with age until a man is so old that he his hearing goes bad. As we grow older, our brain starts to ignore sounds that it thinks are not necessary. This explains why we have trouble listening to our parents and teachers as we grow older.
3. Super Sight

At six months of age, babies have the most amazing eyesight and brain analysis ability ever. Researchers showed babies the faces of monkeys and they were able to differentiate every time! Remember those funny memes on the web that ask you to differentiate between all Chinese students in a group photo? Well, had we been six months old, we would have been able to do that quite well. Babies have an incredible facial recognition ability that gradually decreases as we grow old.

1. Telepathy
   
   The little halflings that make life so cute all of a sudden seem to be helpless but they are just a few steps away from being qualified as X-Men. Infants have zero speech skills and they can’t move much on their own but they can decipher what sort of a mood you are in. They use their superpower of studying facial expressions to assess this. As we get older, we lose this ability and need to actually “ask” the other person how they are feeling. Let’s say if a man had a baby-meter fitted into him- he would understand his wife’s moods better!
2. Swimming power
   
   Babies are natural swimmers until around 6 months of age! They can swim with their mouth and eyes open because of the diving reflex due to which water is diverted from the lungs to the stomach. Babies can open their eyes underwater and if a baby under six months is submerged- it is not necessarily an emergency.
