Babies are, by most accounts, cute and cuddly creatures that seem simple to please: feed, clothe and shelter them, allow them sleep and that’s all there is to it. Not so! Even as newborns, babies are very complex and finely tuned individuals who, thanks to nature, come with their own set of gadgetry and no real instruction manual to speak of.
One of the more interesting observations in a newborn is the way they seem to be scared of falling for no apparent reason. It seems there is no justification for a baby to have such a fear, especially considering that they’ve likely not experienced falling in the first place. But Mother Nature equips human beings with an amazing set of reflexes designed to protect us from all manner of possibilities.
