    As a fresh newborn, my eldest neice, stopped crying when her Dad (my brother) began to talk to her. He has a deep 'commanding' voice and talked to her while she was in-vitro. Also, if our kids are any indication, the become 'smart' from you talking (not gibberish 'baby' talk) to them. No shade towards music...but READ to your kids. When I worked as a teacher, it was obvious which students were read to as youngsters. Build that brain!💜

    Michael made a common mistake; "jaundice" comes from the French word "jaune" which means yellow, but he said "jeune" which means young. Babies with jaundice are both of those, though.

    I was born a bit prematurely and was abnormally yellow when born, so the doctors did a bunch of blood tests and me and my mom had to stay at the hospital longer than intended. When all the results for the blood tests came, it turned out everything was fine and they just went "idk, I guess it's just yellow then" and let me and my mom go home.

    side note on Jaundice vs. staring at a yellow bird; Part of the treatment in hospitals is phototherapy - using light to eliminate bilirubin. so taking the baby outdoor into the sunlight to "stare at a bird" actually could have helped with the jaundice :)

    The yellow bird thing probably did kind of "work". Sunlight can also help break down the bilirubin, and you'd be exposing the baby to sunlight while looking for that yellow bird.

    I watched this with my baby. He was fascinated and really likes your theme music

    My teachers in elementary school would always put on classical music whenever we did something silent like a quiz or doing problems. It made the atmosphere positive and I really wanted to go to school every day!

    What nonsense! I tried to get my niece to help with a simple titration and she couldn't do ANYTHING right. Hydrochloric acid all over the floor! I tell you, babies don't know the first THING about science!

    Regarding childhood amnesia: about 15 years ago, I visited the city where I was born. My parents moved out before my second birthday and we never returned. And yet, when I arrived in the neighborhood where we lived, I recognized the place at some level. It was not the city as a whole that triggered this response, though. Just two specific blocks in the whole city.

    Excellent work!!! My wife and I (mostly the wife) had our baby born just yesterday and you touched on a subject of jaudice, which our daughter has due to low milk intake and the fact that my wife is RH- and our daughter is RH+. You guys/gals are the amazing ones, thank you!!!

    childhood amnesia doesn't happen to most of my family. my mother and grandmother retained some memories from age 2, and awareness from age 3. I remember some specific things that happened from before I could walk, but it's more that I can remember 'being' a baby. I remember how I felt and thought. it is almost identical to drunkenness.

    But some people CAN remember being a baby, it's extremely rare but it happens and it's crazy!

    A member of my family says she can remember something from age 1 year.

    Why do I remember my first birthday? I didn’t start talking about it till 8 and my parents didn’t believe it happened until I was still talking about it by 16. And everything my mom said that happened match up nearly perfect aswell.

    Around minute 8 they mentioned the fact that we only begin forget early childhood starting age 8-9, but for some reason I vividly remember my 5 year old self saying out loud "I don't remember myself before a couple months back". Even back then, its as if my memories started happening at a certain point of my development and I was essentially just a walking & unconscious meat-sack until I was suddenly granted sentience in the middle of the day.
