Many new parents are constantly terrified that their baby is going to get hurt. If this describes you as a parent, I have good news! Babies are super resilient.
Super-Charged Immune System Let's start with their immune systems. I don't know about it, but if my hand touches any surface on a subway car, I will not touch my face with that hand until after I have washed it with soap. This is because I assume most subway cars are dusted with a light coating of feces. Meanwhile, your baby is crawling everywhere on her hands and the jamming said hands in her mouth constantly. And guess what... she's totally unfazed. Bendy Bones It's well known that babies bones are not fully hardened until sometime later on. This might be something that worries you. However, I can assure you that this is a feature rather than a bug. Like a carbon fiber hockey stick, the more bendy a bone is, the harder it is to break. It's the same reason that grandma and grandpa are constantly breaking their hip. Their bones are too stiff! Space Age Safety Devices When I was a baby, I am pretty sure car seats were considered inferior to mom's lap. For all we know, it's true. The science is still catching up. But assuming that the big baby companies haven't just made up all of these new-fangled safety devices to stick their hands in your pockets, your baby is a lot safer than I was as a baby. So, look there's no need to hover around the baby, making sure she never gets hurt. As you can clearly see, she's gonna be just fine.
