Question 1

How long does a pregnancy actually last?

If television shows depicted real life, than yes pregnancy would last exactly 9 months, every single time, with no exceptions. However, TV can be a long stretch from reality. While it is true that all mothers vary in terms of how long their pregnancies last, there is a general number of weeks that make for a healthy pregnancy, and later a healthy baby. Out of these 4 options, can anyone guess which is the correct amount of weeks a pregnancy should generally last?

Question 2

What kind of doctor treats children?

All babies need a doctor. Sure, the hospital does a good job looking at them after they are born, but they are a long way from being done with doctors at that point. In fact during their first year of life, babies should be seeing a doctor about every 2 months just to make sure everything is rolling along as it should be. Looking at the four given options, can anyone pick out the correct name of a doctor who treats children?

Question 3

True or False: It's okay for pregnant women to exercise

Doing anything while pregnant can get a little worrisome. Many women worry about harming the baby if they are to do something to strenuous. While we would definitely suggest consulting a doctor before doing any heavy duty lifting, what about some leisurely exercise? Can women who are pregnant still work-out from time to time, or get their yoga on perhaps? There is only one right answer for this one, does anyone here think they know what it is? Take a guess!

Question 4

Which of these should we not be giving to babies under the age of 1?

Every baby can be a bit different when it comes to dinner time. Some babies will eat up what ever is placed in front of them, while others are more likely to toss it across the room than to actually eat it. While discovering what our babies favorite foods are, we must also be mindful of which foods we can actually be giving them at which point in their lives. One of the options listed, is a food that should not be given to babies under 1 year. Which is it?

Question 5

Are epidurals necessary for giving birth?

The word epidural can sound a little spooky. Basically it is a local anesthesia administered to the area around ones spinal cord. It is said to greatly relieve pain in birthing mothers, but is it absolutely necessary that we get one? The answer for this may vary depending on which mom we ask, but over all doctors will usually answer this question one way. Taking a moment to actually think about the birthing process, does anyone know if the epidural is 100% necessary?

Question 6

Name this kids snack

This popular kids snack has been around since 1997. They are baked crackers with a cheddar cheese flavor. Each one is shaped like a little fish, and even has a small imprint of an eye and a tiny little smile. Not only are they considered a tasty cracker by most children, but they are also super cute, and not to mention fun to play with! Needless to say, any mamas out there should definitely be aware of this snack. Pick the right answer!

Question 7

At what point can a baby begin to learn our voices?

Babies know our voices, that much we can tell by the funny little faces they make when we start talking to them. However, the question is, at which point in their lives do they actually start to recognize voices themselves, and not just that they are being spoken to? Can anyone here remember getting their baby talk on for either their own baby, or a baby they knew, and seeing their tiny face light up? Which of these four options is correct?

Question 8

Name this Sesame Street character

Sesame Street has been around for such a long time, that both new and old mothers should know the answer to this one. This optimistic character is a puppet just like the rest of his Sesame Street gang. He is one of the more popular characters on the show, and he has actually been given his own spin-off series. This fuzzy red guy loves to laugh (especially when he is tickled). Can anyone pick out his name from the options below?

Question 9

Name this kids show

This classic kids show follows the story of a young tech savvy boy name Ryder. He has 6 rescue pups who are all trained to help save the day no matter what is going on! These dogs are firm believers that there is no job too big for them to tackle, just as long as they all work together. This show has been a super popular one with children since 2013. Looking at the names below, can anyone pick out the correct one?

Question 10

Can a baby benefit from a bedtime story?

After a long day of baby care, and just about a thousand different chores, reading a bedtime story to a baby at the end of the day could seem tiresome and frankly a little pointless. Does anyone know if there is an actual reason people read to their babies before bed? After all they can barely understand what's going on in front of them, so what could they really be gaining by story, right? Pick the right answer out below!

Question 11

Can a baby drink regular milk if breast milk is not an option?

Sometimes breast feeding is just not an option. For moms who have adopted a baby, or for moms who simply cannot produce enough milk to feed their child, there needs to be other viable options for getting all of those important vitamins into the baby. We know that formula is an option for babies, but what about just regular old cow's milk? It is most likely already in the fridge, so would it be okay to warm up a bottle, and give it to baby?

Question 12

Which of these foods provide the most calcium?

There is so much good that comes out of making sure not only ourselves, but our babies have enough calcium in our diets. Calcium helps promotes healthy bones and teeth, which especially at a young age is vitally important. Calcium also aids with muscle and nerve function, so, if we want to make sure our baby is in tip-top shape, calcium is the way to go. Don't forget that a baby can absorb calcium while in the womb as well!

Question 13

What is the average age babies take to potty training?

Yes, finally, no more diapers! That is the general thought of most parents when they decide it is time to start potty training their little one. While potty training comes along with a whole other set of issues to deal with, getting rid of the dirty diapers is usually a fairly welcome thought. But how do we know when the time has come to start our babies on this project? Well, hopefully the answer to this question gives you a bit of an idea!

Question 14

When should we start brushing our baby's teeth?

We all know the importance of oral care. Our dentists have been drilling it into our minds for as long as we can remember. In terms of babies though, when they just have one or two tiny little teeth, is it important that we brush them? Or, is it preferable to wait a bit while they all grow in? This one is an important one for mommies to know if they want their babies growing up with strong healthy chompers!

Question 15

Can breast milk be frozen?

Sticking stuff in the freezer is an age old mom trick. With kids in the house there is already so much to get done in a day, so having a nice dinner ready to go in the freezer just makes sense. What about baby's dinner though? We know that lasagna we stuck in there a few days ago will be perfect for the older kids, but can we also be sticking our babies breast milk bottles in there for later consumption?

Question 16

What is the most important item to have before leaving the hospital with a new born baby?

You're at the hospital, and you have just given birth to the most beautiful baby in the world. That means the hard part is over, right? Well, not exactly. At the hospital we have tons of workers helping take care of us and our baby, so when it comes time to leave it can be a little stressful. Luckily, there are tons of babies items out there to help us out! What is the most important one to own before leaving the hospital?

Question 17

What is the average amount of weight gained during a pregnancy?

Do not get us wrong, every pregnancy varies quite a bit when we are talking about extra poundage. However, doctors usually have a rough estimate of the amount of pounds that should be put on during a healthy pregnancy. Moms begin eating a lot more once they are pregnant, and they also start to experience some major food cravings. So, it is super important for mommies-to-be to watch their intake, and to make sure they are not over or under doing it.

Question 18

Name this kid snack

Here is a snack commonly put into kids lunch boxes. We would not exactly call them a healthy snack, but for the moms who want to give their kids a little treat after they have finished all of their veggies, it's a pretty fun option. They are fruit flavored snacks, that come rolled like tape. Kids enjoy the flavor, but also have fun playing with them. Looking at the options below, can anyone pick out the correct name for these?

Question 19

Which of these is a myth?

There are a lot of myths and misinformation that comes alongside pregnancy despite women having done it for literally the dawn of man. Some are easy to listen to since they can be very flattering or comforting for the mom to be. Some are difficult to listen to because they can mean that mom has to seriously change her lifestyle while pregnant and maybe even beyond and we all know that habits can be hard to break. Which of the things below is a myth?

Question 20

At what age can we start giving our babies solid foods?

This one is an important one to know, but it is also one of the first things we read about in almost every childcare book. After they are born babies need milk or formula, they cannot digest anything more than that at the beginning. However, as we all know, that stuff will not sustain us forever. There comes a specific time in a babies life when they can start to eat real food, does anyone here know which of these is the right time?

Question 21

Is there one parenting technique that works on all babies?

All in all there are about a thousand different approaches we can take to baby raising. Some parents swear by the soft loving approach, while others think that a bit of distance helps the babies to become strong and independent. We can by books on every single one of these methods, but is there one of them that is solid enough to work on every single baby? Parents with multiple children may already know the correct answer to this one...

Question 22

What position should our babies be sleeping in?

Babies need a lot of things, and sleep is certainly one of them. As a new parent it may seem like our baby is not sleeping at all, but they are. We need to do everything we can to make sure they are getting those precious hours of sleep every day (even if they do so at the most inconvenient of times). When they are finally ready to go to sleep though, does anyone know the correct way to lay them down in their crib?

Question 23

Why do babies spit up so much?

Raising babies is messy work. Not only do we have the mounds of dirty diapers to deal with, but with all of the spit up they are also producing, it seems the laundry pile is never ending. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself (maybe around the fifth load of laundry that day) why is my baby spitting up so much, and why is it always on my favorite clothing? Well, one of the options below will be able to answer that one for you!

Question 24

How long do new born babies usually sleep for?

For some new parents out there the answer to this question may be never, they never sleep, and they are always crying. However there is a healthy amount of hours a new born baby should be getting if everything is working the way it should be. Of course, there are always special cases, and every baby is very different, but which of these is doctor approved as a healthy amount of hours for a new born baby to be sleeping?

Question 25

Can woman eat chocolate while pregnant?

Here we go again, bringing up those tricky little pregnancy cravings. If only our babies could crave more broccoli while in the womb, then maybe all of these questions wouldn't be so necessary. Unfortunately though, we tend to crave the things that aren't exactly the best for us while we are pregnant. Arguments have come up before over whether or not chocolate is o.k to eat while pregnant. Well, we have done the research, and we have the final word on whether or not we can sometimes indulge in a bit of chocolate while pregnant...

Question 26

Which of these should be taken during pregnancy?

While there is a whole long list of things to avoid while pregnant, there is also a list of things we should be taking regularly to help make sure our baby is healthy. It is always super important to talk to your doctor about any medications you are on when you initially get pregnant, but one of these four things is something every pregnant woman should be taking. Looking at the options, does anyone know the correct answer to this question?

Question 27

Name this baby brand

Babies are expensive. There is no two ways around it. Especially during that very first year, we need to expect to dish out a lot of cash to make sure our babies have everything they need. That being said, most mommies get pretty used to all the baby brand logos. The one we see here is a pretty popular one, so we are hoping most can get it right on the first shot. Which of these brand names matches this logo?

Question 28

What can be a sign that woman is carrying a girl?

There are a lot of old wives' tales surrounding pregnancy. There are especially many of these old myths when it comes to whether or not the mom is carrying a boy or a girl. In fact, these myths even start with how the baby was first conceived and can be super complicated or as simple as whether or not the mother was facing in the right direction relative to the North Pole. While many of these have proven to be coincidences, some have panned out and been proven with science.

Question 29

What can be a sign that a mom is carrying a boy?

Like we said, old wives' tales and birth myths can be responsible for many people doing really strange things when trying to get pregnant or already pregnant in order to influence everything from the future talents of a baby to whether or not the mother produces a boy or a girl. Of course, we can't pick and choose, but there are definitely signs that mom can look for when trying to figure it all out without the help of an ultrasound.

Question 30

Are babies born with teeth?

Think back to when you first met a new born baby, be it your own, someone else's, or even one you saw on television. Did it have teeth in its mouth? It may be a tough thing to remember just by thinking about it. We all know that some babies are born with hair, while some are completely bald, but what about those tiny little chompers? Can anyone here tell us whether babies are born with a few teeth already in their mouths?

Question 31

Does a rounder belly mean we are carrying a girl?

Here is another one of those things some people swear by, while others do not think it holds much value. Many believe that they can tell if it will be a girl or boy just by looking at the mothers baby bump. Some have said that the rounder the belly gets, the more chance there is that it is a baby girl. Does anyone here think that statement is true, or do they just believe that it is some peoples wishful thinking? Pick the right answer!

Question 32

Is spicy food dangerous for pregnant women?

In terms of food there are a whole lot of things we need to stay away from during pregnancy. Sushi is obviously a big no-no, and caffeine heavy things like soda are often said to be dangerous for babies, but what about spicy foods? Spicy foods can upset stomachs of those who are not pregnant at all, but does that mean they should automatically be avoided when someone is pregnant? Well, that is the question! Pick the right answer out below.

Question 33

At what age do babies typically start to crawl?

Once your baby starts to move around on their own, watch out! Once babies start moving, they do not slow down.They will try to get into absolutely everything, so it is super important to have your home baby proofed by the time the baby starts to crawl around the floor. To do this however, we must know when to expect them to start crawling around. Does anyone here know the right answer? Only one of the options below is correct!

Question 34

Is a c-section safer than a natural birth?

Here is a question that has been heavily debated over the years. Strictly speaking, every parents builds the perfect birthing plan for them with their doctor. The doctors take into account each detail of the pregnancy, and puts together the healthiest plan possible for the mom and the baby. However, some moms go into their doctors office with a plan already in their head, because they seem to think a c-section is right off the bat the safest option. Who here knows if that is true or not?

Question 35

Do pregnant woman need to completely avoid caffeine?

Many moms have said that coffee is the hardest thing to drop when getting pregnant.

Question 36

How often should a newborn baby be fed?

Like we have already talked about, new born babies are developing a lot, and quite quickly. What is the most important thing they need to ensure they are developing as they should be? Well, food of course! Just like for us, food is their fuel. They need food for their minds, and their bodies. How much food is too much food though? We definitely want to make sure we are not over feeding them, but under feeding sounds just as dangerous. Luckily, we have the right answer for you below!

Question 37

When can parents expect to feel the first kick?

Feeling a baby kick while pregnant can be quite alarming, especially if we do not know exactly what is happening. That is why it is good to know when to expect certain milestones like this one. A kicking baby means all good things! It means the baby is developing properly, and sometimes it even means it is reacting to our voices, which is just too cute. At which point in our pregnancy should we start to expect to feel those little kicks?

Question 38

The size of a new born's stomach is closest in size to what?

Of course we never actually see our babies stomach, so some may ask, why do we need to know the size of it? Well, it is important to know as much as we possibly can about our babies! That we we can provide the most top notch care to them, and not worry about what we do not know. There are actually apps that can be downloaded before the baby is even born which tell us how big our baby is getting in comparison to food, or objects.

Question 39

Which of these should only be eaten in moderation during pregnancy?

There are plenty of things that are a-o.k for us to be eating as much as we want of during our pregnancy. Though, it is important to remember (especially when those craving kick in) that some foods, while begin perfectly safe to eat, should only be consumed in moderation.

Question 40

Which of these sleeping positions is bad for pregnant women?

Which of these is a no-no while sleeping?

Question 41

How many weeks into pregnancy can a bay start to hear things?

We have already covered at what point a baby can start recognizing voices, but at what point during the pregnancy can a baby actually start to hear things? This one is important for parents who plan on reading to the baby while they are still in the womb. Some parents even like to play music for their little one before they are even born. To do these things though, we need to know at what point the baby will actually be able to hear it.

Question 42

Is the flu shot harmful to a pregnant woman?

Some people do not believe in vaccines at all, regardless of being pregnant or not, but for those who would normally get their flu shot, should they worry about it effecting a potential baby?

We want you guys to figure out if it is harmful for a pregnant woman to get a flu shot, or if it is totally safe for her and the baby.

Question 43

Imagine spending a long day walking around, going to work, and doing what ever else has to get done while also carrying around a huge belly? Seems exhausting, right?

Question 44

A child between the ages of 6-13 should be getting how many hours of sleep?

Don't get us wrong, sleep is super important for the grown-up mommies as well, but we know how hard it can be to get a full 8 hours in every night for ourselves. For our children however, we should be taking special care to ensure they have the right amount of sleep every night. How much sleep should they be getting?

Question 45

How long should we wait before bathing a new born?

After giving birth to a beautiful bouncing baby, it is finally time to take them home. However, for the last few days the baby has mainly been cared for by the hospital workers.

Is that statement true?

Question 46

Which of these things are babies born without?

The first year of our lives is a very important one. Not only are our minds developing very quickly, but so are our bodies. Some may not even realize, but when a baby is first born they are not exactly as complete as a 2 year old is. They are so small that their bodies still need more time to fully develop. One of the 4 body parts listed below babies are not born with, but instead they grow in after. Which is it?

Question 47

Which of these is our best chance at avoiding the belly stretch marks?

Question 48

An average 5 year old has about how many words in their vocabulary?

Once a child starts talking, get ready because they are never going to stop. They may cling to a few choice words (often times "NO" is a favorite), but do not be fooled. By the time they are 5 years old they have collected quite a vocabulary. They may not choose to use it all of the time, but it is there. Looking at these four options, can anyone guess at how many words an average 5 year old actually knows?

Question 49

Which of these organs gets larger during pregnancy?

Pregnancy does a real number on a woman's body. Forget about the huge belly for a minute, and think about everything else that is happening to our bodies while it grows a young life inside of it.
