Baby Chewbacca isn’t too cute to rip your arm off (but he’s really cute)

Look at baby Chewbacca. So young, so innocent. He has yet to grip his first hydrospanner or be driven insane by the horrors of his first Life Day. I just want to scratch him under the chin, and hope my fingers come back still attached to my hand. Concept artist Salvador Ramirez Madriz is responsible…

Babies understand how people think at just ten months old

Babies might seem like they just sit there, off in their own little world — but it turns out their powers of perception are already shockingly advanced. Infants can actually understand other people’s thought processes… even when what people think isn’t actually true. That’s the finding of researchers at the University of Missouri, who found…

Babies are already morally superior to the rest of us by 15 months

Babies are already way more adorable and beloved than other humans, but at least we old-timers could scoff at infants and proudly declare, “My senses of fairness and altruism are way better developed than yours!” Well…I’ve got some bad news. It turns out that babies – those cute, lovable jerks – are just as good…

Study Says Babies Make Men Less Masculine, More Nurturing

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests men’s testosterone levels fluctuate when they have children. The study measured the testosterone levels of 600 participants when they were 21-years-old and then again when they were 25. Men with high testosterone levels were more likely to find a mate and…

The study looked at 94 subjects in their mid-20s and found that prenatal stress caused white blood cells to age by 3.5 years. These cellular changes are…

What Kind of Doll Can Make the Police Destroy a Car?

You’re a police officer. You’ve just gotten a call that a baby’s trapped in a hot locked car. The only reasonable thing to do is the break in to save the baby’s life, right? Except when it’s a doll. Embarrassing! That’s the situation police in Workshop, Nottinghamshire found themselves in after they broke into Victoria…

B.O.B. Ironman Jogging Stroller Won’t Slow Your Roll

I am quite fat. After the birth of my daughter, I packed on 20 pounds because I have no time for anything but work, childcare, and delicious chocolate cake dipped in beer. I need a jogging stroller. Why It Matters Most working parents have very little time to do anything for themselves, including exercise. But…

South Korean Man Operates Dropbox for Abandoned Baby Disposal

Seoul pastor Lee Jong-rak has an unusual operation going on in his house. Caring for disabled kids isn’t anything out abnormal for a religious charity—but having a literal baby dropbox attached to the side of your home, is. Lee created the box—an enclosed, mailbox-style bin with a blanket and a lightbulb—after the birth of his…

A Fat Suit You Can Wear to Mimic a 9-month Pregnancy in Two Minutes

Japan has built a pregnancy suit that lets people understand what being pregnant actually feels like. The fetus is recreated with a 4-liter bag of water, kicking is imitated by balloon contractions and wiggling is done with some crazy caterpillar motion. There’s 45 expandable balloons that line the suit and when they expand and contract…

Your Baby Is Not Safe Until Its Butt Is Planted In Baby Bjorn’s New $300 Miracle Chair

Baby Bjorn has gone and done it.

The first three-parent babies could soon be born

The technology is now in place for three different parents to contribute DNA to an embryo – two of them providing the 98% of DNA in the cell nucleus, while another provides the crucial 2% that is mitochondrial DNA. Why does this matter? Mitochondrial DNA is passed on exclusively by the mother, but some women…

A Baby Was Trapped Inside a Time-Locked Bank Vault By Herself

In Georgia, a 14-month-old toddler wandered away from her mother inside a bank. Crazy, I know. What’s even crazier is that the baby managed to walk inside an open bank vault that locked as the bank closed (and wouldn’t open again until the bank opened). After cameras spotted the baby on security cameras inside the…

Newborns need their mother’s voice to really fire their brains up

Newborn babies have an instinctual need to hear their mother’s voice…and nobody else’s. For the first time ever, electrodes were placed on babies hours after their birth to probe the connection between the mother’s voice and their newborn brains. The electrodes monitored which parts of the infants’ brains were activated when they came into contact…
