"A newborn's stomach is about the size of a small marble; by the time he's a month old it's about the size of a ping-pong ball."

I was today years old when I found out that breast milk actually changes flavor depending on what a mom eats. My mind is totally blown.

"As parents we can worry so much about things that just aren't as important to our children, such as giving them their own room, buying them toys and taking them on holidays. Actually, the most valuable gift you can give to your child is free: it's simply your love, time and support."

"Human babies are born more immature than other mammals — calves can stand on four legs less than an hour after birth. Our babies take around a year to learn to stand and walk and even then need so much protection for years ahead. Parenting is more important than we could ever have imagined."
