Color of Baby

 

 

Dr.Mike

what causes a baby to continually put his fist in his mouth and gag ? also please tell me what are the chances of a teenager who has a black father and white mother having a black baby with a white mother? the teenager is living as a white child with no negroid features? thank you

 

Some people call it the "oral phase". Babies like to put things into their mouths...their hands, feet, toes. When babies put things too far into their mouths, they trigger their gag reflex. Also, when they begin to teethe, it gives them some degree of comfort to chew on something to help break the tooth through. This is normal for babies.

 

Your second question is not so easy to answer. Only God knows for sure how a human being will look before he or she is born. It's more in our control (as human beings) to develop our children with good character: honesty, integrity, compassion.

 

Great people in the world's history have come from all different colors, ethnic backgrounds, and countries. It's more important what is inside a human being than outside.

 

I hope that helps you. Dr. Mike

 

Thank you for answering my baby questions but I guess my worry with color issue is what if this teenager never tells the girl of his mixed race and decides to marry someday never telling the girl this could create a sticky situation. Do you agree with this? Thank you very much Dr. Mike

 

Hello again!

 

I think that in order to be happy in any relationship, there should be a strong bond of trust and honesty...from both partners.

 

If honesty is practiced by both partners, then the "sticky" situations will be very rare. Don't you agree?

 

Thank you for your question(s). Dr. Mike
