Can a 12 year old boy have a baby with a 12 year old girl?
It's not a good idea, but in some cases it'd be possible.
Is Teeth grinding in babies common?
Experts don't know for sure what causes teeth grinding, but they point fingers at tension or anxiety, pain (from earaches or teething, for example), and malocclusion (a dental term for when the teeth don't line up just right). Some also suggest that allergies may play a role. And there's some evidence that pinworms are sometimes the culprit. Finally, your toddler may just be getting used to the sensation of having teeth in his mouth.
Your child is a bit more likely to grind his teeth if you do. He's also more likely to grind if he drools or talks in his sleep.
About 38 percent of children grind their teeth, according to a 2005 study published in the Journal of Dentistry for Children. The average age for starting the habit is around 3 1/2 years and the average age for stopping is 6 - though, of course, people of all ages grind their teeth. Almost all teeth grinding happens at night.
IS IT BAD:
In most cases, teeth grinding isn't harmful. It's very unlikely that your toddler's doing any damage to his teeth, and it's very likely that he'll soon outgrow the habit. Mention it to his dentist, though, so she can check the teeth for wear and any resulting problems, like pulp exposure, cavities, and fractures.
ANY THING TO MAKE HIM/HER STOP?
Although the noise is probably disconcerting, most likely you'll just have to wait for your toddler to grow out of it. In the meantime, it won't hurt to work on a soothing bedtime routine - maybe a leisurely soak in the tub, a little back rub, or extra cuddling in the rocking chair. If he's teething or has an ear infection, consider giving him the proper dose of acetaminophen or ibuprofen to ease the discomfort.
Older children are sometimes fitted with a night guard - a plastic device fitted to the mouth to prevent clenching and grinding of the teeth during sleep. But your child's dentist probably won't consider this an option until your child has at least some permanent teeth, around age 6.

How often should you bathe a newborn?
I asked this question a ton, and got 500 different answers. But the one I got I trusted. My pediatrician and long time family doctor says "They don't really get dirty, hunny". Bathing twice weekly is sufficient until they learn how to get dirty. However, every day you should spot clean. Take a warm wet washcloth and clean their face and neck (it does get dirty from formula leakage), clean their diaper area (you know why that gets dirty), and clean their hands (some newborns suck on their hands- therefore covering them in formula as well).
How much does a 5 month old baby weigh?

Is it good for a baby to look in a mirror?
Yes, it is perfectly fine for a baby to look at themselves in a mirror. The baby will think that they are just looking at another baby.
Dads and Moms have babies between them. The Mom does 99% of the work, but they both claim the credit.
The dad's sperm contributes half of the genetic content in a baby. The mother's egg contributes the other half. When sperm meets egg, a baby is produced. After spending 40 weeks in the womb, the baby is born.
So basically, the father contributes his DNA, but the mother actually carries the child inside of her and gives birth to the baby.
Why do babies cry when they wake up?
Babies try many types of flailing, grunting or cooing to get attention, but often have to resort to crying in order to communicate that they need something. They cry for many reasons: need affection, need diaper change, need food, got scared, got lonely, have gas, are too hot, are too cold, are uncomfortable, have colic, are experiencing pain, etc.
Can a girl and girl have a baby?

Why are babies small when they are born?
baby's are small when they are born because when they are tight in there mothers belly they shrink and become cute and small.
Some babies may look a little less attractive than others, but I think all babies are cute. As they grow, the faces grow into their features and change. Some of the gawkiest babies become the cutest kids. I guess it works the same way for adults. Some very cute babies or kids can grow up and are nothing much to look at as teenagers or adults.

Yes babys do have nightmares so do adults its a natural thing for human biengs
At first babies can only see bright,dark colors such as black,red,and white. They can see other colors,but not very well.After a few weeks they begin to see more colors.
It seems as if a baby can't a thing, but actually when their eyes open for the first time they can see every thing, but just can't remember it.
How do you put infants to sleep?
well, you can let them fall asleep themselves, or if you want you can parent them to sleep (rocking, nursing, and the like) just make sure you put them in bed drowsy but awake so they can learn how to put themselves to sleep. There is a good PDF that explains it all really well......don't have the url; but do a search for lullaby-babies: become a baby sleep expert... in 30 minutes pdf explains it all (how long suppose to sleep, sleep cycles, ect.)
Babies typically begin to focus on objects and faces around 2 to 3 months of age. At this stage, they can track moving objects and show an increasing interest in their surroundings. By about 4 months, their vision improves significantly, allowing them to see colors and details more clearly. Full visual acuity develops over the first year as their eyes and brain continue to mature.
