For us, taking a good ol’ nap for six to nine hours at a stretch is a no-brainer. But it isn’t the same with babies, especially during the first couple of months of their lives. It’s absolutely normal for a baby to wake up and cry, most notably during the nighttime. Crying is the only way a baby can communicate with us. It’s also true that, at times, babies cry for no good reason. For the most part, they are trying to convey their feelings, which the parents get the hang of over time! Now, let’s address the babies in…
Anyone who has had a child knows that motherhood isn’t always easy. Along with the excitement and joy of raising a child, there will inevitably come struggles. Often, they can be emotional, physical or financial. So, when the world found out that a 70-year-old from the state of Uttar Pradesh in India gave birth to twins in the summer of 2008, many were left stunned. Motherhood would almost certainly be even harder for a woman of that age. And although the woman appeared nonplussed by the ᴄʀɪᴛɪᴄɪsᴍ that came her way at the time of her children’s birth, later updates…
A woman suddenly gave birth to her baby while standing in a parking lot in Florida, United States, on June 19. This baby girl just can’t wait to see the world! Susan Anderson and her husband, Joseph, were driving to a birthing center when she felt the “need to ᴘᴜsʜ.” Once Joseph had parked their car in front of the ꜰᴀᴄɪʟɪᴛʏ, the couple quickly tried to enter it. However, Susan suddenly gave birth before they were even able to make their way inside the center. “By the time we got to the first step, the head was ᴄᴏᴍɪɴɢ [ᴏᴜᴛ],” Susan…
It was previously reported that the child’s mother had ᴅɪᴇᴅ during the ᴇᴀʀᴛʜǫᴜᴀᴋᴇ in Turkey. The 3-month-old girl spent 128 hours in the ʀᴜʙʙʟᴇ of a ᴄᴏʟʟᴀᴘsᴇᴅ ʙᴜɪʟᴅɪɴɢ before being ʀᴇsᴄᴜᴇᴅ after the ᴇᴀʀᴛʜǫᴜᴀᴋᴇ in Turkey. Medical workers named him “Mystery” and took care of her before finding her mother. A mother has been reunited with her newborn daughter 54 days after they were sᴇᴘᴀʀᴀᴛᴇᴅ in the ᴄʜᴀᴏs of Turkey’s ᴄᴀᴛᴀsᴛʀᴏᴘʜɪᴄ ᴇᴀʀᴛʜǫᴜᴀᴋᴇ. Authorities took the 3-month-old Vetin to a hospital in Adana with her mother, Yasemin Begdas, Reuters reported. A D.N.A ᴛᴇsᴛ confirmed that Yasemin Begdas is the mother of…
Photographer Lindsay Foster specializes in capturing births and cute sessions with newborn babies. The professional saw her popularity grow when she released, on the 28th of July, the photos of the birth of Milo, the son of BJ Barone, 34, and Frankie Nelson, 44, both teachers from Toronto, Canada. The images show the parents’ emotion when they received the child after the birth, on July 27, and became a hit on social networks. Very emotional, they accompanied all the ʟᴀʙᴏʀ. The most shared photo shows the two receiving the boy shortly after birth, next to their ʙᴀʀᴇ ʙᴀᴄᴋs – a…
There’s something magical about the birth of twins, and these photos give a breathtaking glimpse into the world of multiples. A twin home birth is not something that most people come across often. Most twins are born in the ᴏᴘᴇʀᴀᴛɪɴɢ ʀᴏᴏᴍ via C-sᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ, so needless to say, this natural, planned, unassisted home birth was very special! “I got a call from Vilate around 9 p.m. She was calling to let me know that she thought ʟᴀʙᴏʀ was starting and that she’d keep me in the ʟᴏᴏᴘ, but to be ready to leave once I got the call.” “Months earlier, during…
Although lava domes are pretty common, symmetrical ones are extremely rare. The chances are you haven’t seen one yet – until now. The Mauna Ulu eruption of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii With lasted a whopping 1,774 days, that is, almost five years. At the time, it was Kilauea’s longest running eruption and produced about 460 million cubic yards of lava. Between 1969 to 1974, the public had a chance to view the astonishing eruption from observation platforms, getting a glimpse of incredible natural phenomena rarely seen during volcanic events. The US Geological Survey recently posted an image taken in 1969…
We all know bonsai, but who knew there were bonsai forests too? Image credits: wrathofgnon Upon leaving Kyoto, you can see vast cedar forests planted along the hillsides. The Kitayama cedar is highly prized for being exceptionally straight and knots-fee and has been in high demand since the 15th century. With such a demand and a general lack of growing space, foresters came up with an ingenious way to grow more wood using less land. The process involves the heavy pruning of a mother cedar tree, with tall, thin saplings encouraged to shoot upwards. Like a bonsai, but on a large…
Drone photos show an incredible natural masterpiece forming on Cakora Lake, New South Wales, Australia. Image courtesy of Derry Moroney Photography Following months of heavy rain and storms in northern New South Wales, Australia, photographer Derry Moroney captured a stunning sight from his drone: a breathtaking “Tree of Life” forming over Cakora Lake, two hours south of Byron Bay. Since from the ground, the river didn’t look any different, Moroney was “totally shocked” when he first saw the footage sent by his drone flying over the lake. It was when the drone reached an altitude of 119 meters (390 ft),…
Dispuestos en criptas e iglesias, con cráneos lascivos y piel de pergamino, los muertos disecados de Sicilia han mantenido una vigilia muda durante mucho tiempo. Pero ahora, siglos después, estos espeluznantes cadáveres tienen mucho que decir. Cinco años después del Proyecto Momia de Sicilia, seis colecciones macabras ofrecen a los científicos una nueva mirada a la vida y la muerte en la isla mediterránea desde finales del siglo XVI hasta mediados del XX. Dirigida por el antropólogo Dario Piombino-Mascali del Departamento de Patrimonio Cultural e Identidad Siciliana en Palermo (mapa), la investigación en curso está revelando cómo los hombres religiosos…
