Reply to comment by Frequent-Seaweed4 in TIL that most non-human primate infants actively use their hands to help themselves out of the birth canal. Human infants do not, but their grip strength is much higher during the hours immediately after they are born. by afeeney

Ehh their heads don’t get that much bigger in 3 months. Scarier to picture pushing out a toddler instead, double the head circumference, double the weight, 10-12 inches longer…

Well, I just gave myself nightmares!

By three months, their shoulders are bigger which can be as bad.
