This is our baby. His name is "Bitcoin". He's my bitcoin baby.
On the day our baby was born he lifted his head by himself. This is a medical miracle. We told the doctors what we saw, and they said, "It's not possible. He won't do that until he's one month old." I showed them a photo . the same one that you see here. They looked at it and acted suitably impressed, but I could see they were dubious that it wasn't quite what it seemed. They seemed to think it was some kind of lucky or trick photo.
I wished I could have shown them a video of him doing it.
One thing I did not know about at the time was the Apple iPhone "Live Photo" feature. "Live Photo" is a feature of the latest iPhone which not only takes a photo, but also takes a short video of about 3 seconds. You can see the video by holding the photo with your finger. I didn't know this at the time, and only discovered it months later. Since I can no longer share this video with the doctors, I am sharing it with my steemian friends.
Click the picture above to watch the 3 second video in D.Tube.
I have since googled about babies lifting their heads on the day of their birth. So far I didn't find anything much.
It seems babies normally start to do this at one moth old, although were a small number of claims that it happened after 2 weeks or even one week.
Has anyone seen this happen to another baby??

Here is another picture on the day he was born. This is the first time I looked at him. He was just 10 minutes old.
He sat up on his own, and looked at the world around him when he was exactly 5 months old. Here he is doing it:
At six moths he was already standing with support. Here he is at 6 months and 9 days old.
At 11 months and 4 days old he could stand without holding on to any furniture. Here is a picture of him as he stood for the first time un-supported.
Within a few days he was walking. Here is a picture of his first steps the next day at 11 months and 5 days old.
If I had known he was going to be so strong, I would have never named him "Bitcoin Baby". I would have called him "Blockchain Baby".
To finish this blog off, here are a few more of our little Bitcoin getting ready for bed.
Good night my little Bitcoin baby!
For Swissclive's baby.......
Oh my Blockchain Baby....
When I look upon you my heart gets filled with joy and ecstasy and suddenly I feel the richest and happiest person in this world.
Your cute face makes my day and your smile is my breath...
You are the accomplishment of my motherhood...
It is difficult to define how much I love you and you are very very special to my world and your every moment is like a celebration of my life...
The day you born, you set a a different role to my personality and that was "motherhood" and you are the certificate of me being a mother.
I got a rebirth within me the day you born.....
My love for you is eternal......from @swissclive....
Wow, that is just so beautiful. Thank you so much for these wonderful words.
Bitcoin baby is very lucky, he was born in a golden cradle as we say here, the important thing is that he is in good health and is a good man, an example of his father, and I also hope that his mother, I wish him many blessings to He, the children bring a lot of happiness to our lives, enjoy everything they can. Greetings, friend, God continues to bless you!
I loved this
Honestly, this nothing but a miracle. I know a little about medicine and body anatomy and I use to believe it is not possible for a newborn baby to raise his or her head till like after 1 month because the head and the neck muscles and even the spinal cord will not be strong enough to do this.
For me, I've never seen a baby raise his or her head before at birth. I will take it as a miracle and please, watch over the baby very well, he is a special being.
As for the live photo feature on iPhone, many people that uses iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus, 7 and 7 Plus, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, and even the iPhone SE still don't know that the feature is default. Once you snap a picture, your iPhone captures the audio and video of 1.5 seconds before and 1.5 seconds after you tap the white shutter button to snap a photo. It's a really cool feature for iPhone.
Thank God for iPhone, many people including me will still not believe that happened by mere seeing pictures.
Thanks for this your post once again. I always enjoy your post anytime I read them because I always learn new thing. Today I saw what I always think it's impossible.
Thanks once again.
The maternity ward doctors did not believe me when I told them. Even the photo did not convince them. I wish I had known about live photo then. I would have been able to show the short video.
It is indeed frustrating when people do not believe you when you tell them a thing that really happened... Anyway, you know the truth and you should enjoy every minute next to your child, he is a beautiful kid. Hope he will make you a proud father!
Thank you @mejustandrew. You have such a kind heart!
As I said, it a very difficult thing to believe especially for people in medical line. Thanks for showing us this video.
Looking forward to your next post to learn a new thing
Wow... Sounds impressive for a baby to do that on a first day. So, you gave him "bitcoin" indeed, I can only imagine his luck rolling in the money into the family. You baby is beautiful and even if the doctor seem not to believe, I don't think a father will lie about such when it's no like there is an award they were going to give. Well, amazing sharing this right now. For some of us who are yet to thread your path in the line of giving birth,i believe that is something to look out for when we finally do give birth. Thanks for sharing your amazing posts always.
It's really interesting.
I join thanks.
Here he is counting my bitcoins:
This baby is a genius do you Know? You may not. But all the phenomenal things he does is half the display of the inner stuff he's gifted with.
He looks so handsome.
My wish for him is that he may grow in wisdom and with all blessings of both spiritual and material things.
Hello @Swissclive
I've heard some fascinating stories about new born babies. From the ones trying to walk after birth to the ones trying to talk after birth.
Bitcoin's story proves that we'll keep experiencing these fascinating events.
I tried to do a search after reading your post... Am i came across few interesting comments
Bitcoin is cute and quite strong for his age... At the rate he might even be lifting the refrigerator few years time 😁 (joking).
You have a lovely family ... Although i've always thought you were Lady.
Thanks for sharing.
Comments source
Thanks so much for these links. It sounds like Bitcoin Baby is not the only one. However I bet he’s the only one caught on camera!
I'm happy to learn and contribute @swissclive :))
"However I bet he’s the only one caught on camera!" ...It seems so!!! Am sure you already backed up the clip in your icloud. 😁
Thanks again!!!
The first super baby I knew was from a story (Azuka and the magic egg) in the book, tales by moonlight. But I guess baby bitcoin is another super baby.
I got curious when I saw him lift his head in the video so I searched google to see if there are other amazing kids like him. I found another amazed mother here who narrated how she saw her son do the same.
I still can't find a real scientific explanation. but like you said, he's a miracle baby and all I could say is that he's really strong doing what most other babies his age won't be able to do.
Just look at his picture at 10 minutes, he was so eager to welcome the world. I'm sure he has a lot to offer.
Here is a screenshot of another article I found trying to explain the stages of development of a newborn baby you can read more from here
I had a neighbour whose daughter could walk without support at 8 months. These are just wonderful things we rarely see everyday.
And by the way he's a cute little boy. It doesn't matter whether you name him bitcoin or blockchain, he's a strong baby.
Thanks for that very useful link. According to the stories, he is not the first newborn to lift his head. However, it looks like he is the first one who was filmed doing it.
I'm glad you found the link useful.
How I wished my own upvote on your comment could be massive too. Thanks!
It is very gratifying to know that one is the father of a healthy and strong child. My daughter Jerlin learned to walk at 9 months, now she is 8 years old and seems to have an inexhaustible source of energy, the baby bitcoin case is rare. I have not seen a child one day raise his head, fortunately the recorded video remains for the story.
Walking at 9 months!!!!! That is so young, especially for a girl.
I would also say that it is something unusual, now thinking a little things, at that time the floor of the house was dirt, we were in full construction of the house, I imagine that naturally the direct contact with the earth strengthened it more.
I do not know, I'll have to study about Jerlin's case! she has always proven to be an outstanding girl.
Congratulations @swissclive, I think it's miracle!
I have 2 older children and 7 younger, so I watched the first days and weeks of many babies, but I never saw such a phenomenon: a newborn baby lifts his head so early.
Usually it happens not earlier than after 1 month.
Your son is really special! And he has good health and strength.
His eyes are such clever on the photo. He is so cute! And he is already running in his one year!
I wonder what his first words will be!
And I'm sure that he also will be intelligent and creative as his father and he'll make you a proud father!
I wish he'll bring a lot of happiness to your life and I wish him, and you, and your wife many blessings!
I resteemed this your post to show your extraordinary cute child to all my children and friends!
Thank you @ir3k. I also wonder what his first words will be. I’m sure he is saying “daddy” already, even if it is associated with me.
Amazing baby! He will be an athlete when he grows older!! Can't wait to see what "bitcoin" baby is up to in 10 years time :)
Wow! Blockchain baby indeed! We may borrow that for our next one! I love it!
This is such a nice collection of his first 12 months! How did you manage to capture all of those key firsts? We seemed to always be caught off guard and would barely see it as the moment was over. No chance to grab the phone or camera!
This post is a nice #healthy-home post! Hopefully they can share the 'seal of approval'.
You definitely have a new follower!
Thx
It is a great #healthy-home post! Thanks for the heads up!
And it is more special than you realize! Our son also did this... Maybe it was on the second or third day, but very early! That is too cool!
This is a post it note reminder to myself to come back and see how blockchain baby is doing.
:-D
Such phenomena help me - they give me faith, they strengthen my hope - that ALL THUS I HEAR THERE - at the top - invisible helpers.
I hope so
Now there are many svitelstvstv that time is amazing and in the world come to (born) amazing children. Who have incredible abilities.
This can be treated differently, and people are treated as best they can.
However, if you have confirmations in your life, phenomena that medicine can not even accept, then it is a great value.
If you discard doubts, then there is a lot of information about how the changes in the life of the planet, people, are now taking place. And if an unusual person comes to our world with great gifts and a great mission, then this can be accepted and thanked.
The Science vs The life
Now there are many events that, according to medical norms, are impossible. It is healing from disease and other phenomena of the event.
And also we can see different events, which are more and more difficult to call "coincidence".
I like how in the comments you often write that they pray for you. This is a universal system, and it's very cool.
Thank you for this "window" in your life. The photos are bright and high-quality.
I wish you blessings too.
Resteem your post, @swissclive, thank you!
Wow! The baby is so cute and mind you, I still couldn't believe it happened that a day old baby raised his head up all alone? This is more than a wonder but a miracle indeed, I wouldn't say you haven't made the good choice calling him "bitcoin baby", bitcoin is also strong enough too, having bitcoin at the king of all cryptocurrency is enough to call it the strongest but the best name is till the "blockchain", I pary the boy grows to understand things more than just a mere man, I pray he possesses the genius brain, whereby, he would be able to invent things that would make the planet "earth" a better place for "Humanity".
If half the people work to make planet earth better, then it will be better. I hope he will be in the “good” half.
I think whatever @swissclive says here should be believed and not doubted @tezzmax ... If its the parent decision to call him Bitcoin, its their baby and anyone can name her child any name.
I pray he turns to be the "good" one.
A great story. I know perfectly well how hard it is for parents to muster the courage and start sharing photos of their main treasure in this world. Children are our life. I appreciate every minute I spent with my little Bitcoin named Andrew:) I think my updated competition is just for you - https://steemit.com/mychild365/@cranium/simplify-rules-mychild365
Aw, he's adorable! And a very strong boy. He looks very aware and curious. I can only imagine how proud you are of him.
Congratulations on your son. I didn't know you were a new mom.
My new grandson is strong like this too. He lifted his head as well and was walking a bit earlier than your little one but close enough. Must be something in the water or the air. These kids are so healthy today.
I use the live photo on my iPhone too - love it. I get to see my grandson whenever I want via my photos. He lives across the country so I visit on facetime and pictures :)
Thanks for sharing. I love little ones.
I can’t but just Wow at the short video. The baby is cute and healthy. Hello gorgeous, welcome to the world, he’s indeed a medical miracle. It’s been established that babies don’t raise their head until about six weeks old. He did ut with so much ease he seems to be an athlete from heaven . 😀 Are you really gonna name the baby “BITCOIN” . We have boss baby , so this baby is gonna be our “BABYHERO” Tell him that for me please
Yeah nicely said. He’s gonna be the baby hero. He shows so much energy at birth, what a wonder. The 9th wonder of the world of I’m not mistaken.
Well I hope he will save the world somehow.
Yeah . Remember ... one man can change the world they say
Boss baby, baby hero! I love it!
Thanks to @public-eye for the tag,
This post does get the #healthy-home seal of approval!!
And it makes me (@em3) so happy to read this post! It brings back a very fond memory of my son when he was a newborn! He had jaundice very bad and needed the light treatment. They had him in a enclosed bassinet for hours each day for the first 5 days, I think.
On the 2nd or third day I am visiting with him as my wife sleeps and he pushes up ....maybe on all fours, I forget. But his head is raised too! And I think wow! That is impressive! I think I took a photo(now I am stoked to find it!!) And it is how he got his Chinese nick name of "small strong". Even though he was a small baby, he showed he was strong! He is 13 now and looks like he is 16, and yes, very strong(though not small anymore)!!

Is the boy called Xiao Qiang? It is reassuring that he grew so big!
Yes... I just did some Google foo and believe that is the nickname. It is the common slang for cockroach in some parts of China.
Like I said... I think that the pinyin you gave is of the Mandarin... And the pronunciation we used was the Cantonese...
But same difference!
😁
I only ever heard it (and spoke it) in Cantonese. The first word sounds like Soo(as the sound in "soup")... So that first word may be the same... But I would need my wife to write the Chinese characters in order to be sure.
Peace
Is the boy called Xiao Qiang? It is reassuring that he grew so big!
now that's really surprising and strange.. That's some special baby there..
But is that something to be scared of?? Like is it abnormal???
Maybe all parents think their baby is special. Bit this one is really special.
It really is a miracle
Frankly if I did not see the video I would not believe it moved his head , Because the newborn baby is not possible to lift his head and He can not open his eyes during the first few days and weeks because of the swelling that occurs in him as a result of pressure on his head during childbirth .
When will the child be able to lift his head?The neck muscles of most children are strong enough to carry their heads and look from one side to another at the age of about six months.
This is the first time I have seen it , It's a miracle
After all, it is as beautiful as angels.
I would to thank you for this great post madam
have a good day you and your family .
I guess we have babies in common, only bitcoin babies actually do that, and baby can just decide to be big in a twinkle of an eye,
He came into this world fighting and said "I will survive". He gets so big, so quickly. Now at 1 year old he is running.
:) I have read the story and even some comments but I just had to drop a comment on this one Lolz, he is one year old and running already? Hahaha am still wowed by his awesomeness right here, it's like all new to me. I have not really seen or heard anything like this before in my entire life and am quite of age and also read a lot but nothing like this. As he has defied all odds, I pray he will grow up strong and do great things beyond his fellows, wonderful things that would impact the world. Congratulations @swissclive, he is truly a miracle baby @dee-y over and out.
Damn your baby is so cute @swissclive...you may have to hide him properly so I don't get to take him away from you and make him mine..hehehe
There is something about this baby. He has been able to achieve and do stuffs ,babies his age can't do. I see a born leader in him.
He lifted his head when other babies would put down their heads...I see a genius.
He sat up on his own and looked around just at the age of 5 months...I see an inquisitive mind.
He was able to stand at the age of 6months and 9 days with support ,when other babies still found it difficult crawling...I see a warrior .
He was able to stand without holding any furniture at the age of 11months and 4 days...I see a young man who is ready to conquer
And finally he took his very first step at the age of 11months and 5days...I see a man of valour
Your baby is incredible and we are happy you brought him into this world...I see a man who is gonna change the world in him. I see a man who is gonna make his parents proud. We love you "bitcoin baby"
How old is he now?
Lovely @swissclive
yes this is miracle i also never seen baby liftef his head by himself but anything could happen in this world .He is special baby this happened because you names it bitcoin .If you named it steem then it start running fast like steem transactions.This is fun but this baby is very cute thanks for sharing your life experience with us.
He was a very strong baby from birth. We feel so blessed to be so lucky.
He is also lucky that he got parents like you.God bless
Well, you have a very advanced child, congratulations! Is his name really Bitcoin? : )
iPhone's "Live Photo" feature seems even more useful than the "Invisible Ink" that you shared recently. I you keep posting about it's useful features, my next smartphone will be iPhone.
As it took me quite a while to discover the live photo feature, I am sure there are loads of of other people who don't know it. I was even more amazed to discover the "bounce" photo feature the other day. Probably almost nobody knows that wonderful feature. I should blog how to do it.
Babies that lift their hands when born...its kind of a smart response to the environment.
Babies of nowadays are quick to everything. Responses and speech inclusive
Well maybe lifting their hands is normal, I don't know, but his head is so heavy, I don't know how he did it.
He surely is a miracle baby! I still can't believe that he lifted his head on the day of his birth! You are surely lucky with him. And baby Bitcoin is cute too! Btw, nice Iphone feature there, it is surely useful. Too sad I only have Android. Anyways, nice post and keep it going!:)
Bitcoin baby perhaps, Steemit baby might be on it's way.
Apparently he is a super amazing baby with a smart geeky nature.
Welcome Bitcoin baby
Congratulations @swissclive
What a good idea. I will call my next baby "Steemit Baby". That sounds a much cooler name than "ethereum baby"
I haven't seen such happen. The normal timeframe is one month. At birth, your baby has little control over his head because his motor skills and neck muscles are fairly weak but special people do special things, they break rules and go against the norms.
You started it by naming him bitcoin. Lol. He acted like the almighty bitcoin
He's going to break the rules. We are looking for great things from him.
Wonder woman 😘, cute and strong baby you got there, are you actually naming your baby Bitcoin, if yes I will had sbd to my name I hope he is as strong as his mother 😘
You'll add SBD to your name? Can you do that? i will call my next baby "Steemit Baby".
I could use sbd as a form of initials or a nickname tho, "steemit baby" that would be nice ..... Steem would be a nice name also.....💚
Hello @swissclive, that is a nice thing to share but is there any significance attached to babies lifting heads ? I have not seen a new baby doing that before...
Well as there is nothing on the internet about a baby lifting his head so early, it is hard to know if there is a significance or not. I should have called him "Blockchain baby" because he is so strong.
"Block chain baby" that sounds sweet, may he keep growing in strength . ...welcome baby "Bitcoin" to the bitcoin world.
Is there anyway after going to London?
Hi swissclive, it's nice to read your post again cus I've been wondering why I've not been seeing you regularly on steemit again.
To be truthful, this is the most surprising thing I've heard today. I've never heard, seen or read about it anywhere.
I'll try asking a midwife that live close to my house tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a good reply.
Thanks for sharing this. I'll do more research about it
And oh! congratulations! The baby is cute!!!
Cute baby of our steemit generation , lovely ,, so cute
I can't wait to hear what the midwife says. Even if she has seen this, I still think it must be quite unusual.
Hi @swissclive, so today I asked the midwife about this and she said she's not had the experience before in her whole medical career. Although, she said she's heard about this from those in the profession and she's read about it too.
I showed her the video and she smiled. She said the baby is cute and will be a strong boy. She also said she prays she encounters this kind of event soon.
Thanks for asking the mid-wife. I am glad you showed her the video. I think without video evidence there would always be a question about what happened, when it happened and how significant it was. We sometimes laugh at the fishermen who show us the size of the giant fish that got away. Over the years the size just gets bigger.
Wow... cute baby, babies of this generation starts things fast, they seem to me like technology 😄
Maybe my baby was all Steemed up!
Funny you😄... mayb
Wow! Congrats @swissclive
bitcoin baby...lovely name :)
Well i haven't seen..... Indeed a medical miracle. Congratulations
wow congrats @swissclive ..d baby's name is very lovely..bitcoin baby, it has a unique hearing to it
Thanks for sharing this...i never knew babies do that...i will also make my reasearch concerning this too
i have not seen a new born baby doing this before...i think deres somefin attached to it...like a sign..
Intresting... Its indeed a miracle.. I hope baby "bitcoin" is good afterwards ..
Many many congratulations.... so ...cute baby...and it’s a miracle baby ....video is so sweet .... God bless the baby. Thanks for sharing...
Cute baby of our steemit generation , so cute
The STEEMIT GENERATION! I love that.
lol..you welcome@swissclive
Well, your baby must be a super baby. A quick check on the internet says at birth the baby's muscle are fairly weak therefore they have little or no control over their head movement, at least it should be a few weeks for the quickest (unconfirmed ) cases. So am surprise with your own story.
Make sure to keep an eye on him when growing up so he won't be beating up his friends and classmates, cause he seems to posses super strong muscles.
Yes, you are right. Babies should not be able to lift their heads until around 1 month old according to what I read. This was really unusual for me. On the video, you can hear me saying "wow!" as it happens. I was so lucky to capture this short live photo at just the right moment.
Wow! Congratulations dearie, I haven't seen a new baby doing that, he his a miracle baby , no doubt.
I think babies of this generations act and grow really fast too, and he his adorable too.
He is adorable! Lucky us!
Wait you mean literally bitcoin? that's great.
Not me and have not heard of anything like that, babies are really fragile at birth and the ability to muster the strength to raise his head is really miraculous.
Watching the video just fills me with happiness
Surely he will grow up to be strong.
#untalented @surpassinggoogle
Babies make people happy. they are so innocent at birth. They have a whole world to discover.
yes fell in love with him the moment he raised his face up so lovely and truly innocent
I heard this thing for the first time, I didn't know that babies can't do that until their one month old. It was very interesting.
He is so cute, look this fascinating eyes! I think he tried to say "I love you too" by leaning on you.
I hope he will be always happy. God bless him.
I'm sure he would have replied "I love you" if he knew how!
Was truly perplex about this that i view the video. So wonder i will say it truly a miracle. First of it kind. Bitcoin baby should have a place in guiness book of record
Well maybe the Guiness book of records will find this baby and put him down as a miracle.
Waoh, dats really amazing , maybe he was born to do the impossible, to reach heights no one thought it would be possible, and congratulations on the delivery of a baby.
it's a miracle he could do this. It is supposed to be impossible. But unless you are lucky enough to get it on video, there is nobody who would believe it.
Exactly, the world today believes so much on facts and evidence, but as long as you saw it, be rest assured that you have witnessed the impossible.
Without sounding superstitious, I will love to say that this is a good sign in the areas of research in paediatrics.
I guess this post is targeted at making findings on this rare occurrence. Am a medical personnel and I promise to get back to you on this.
Thanks for sharing this @swissclive
Congratulations on the arrival. He's such a cute baby.
It will be interesting to know how common this occurrence is. There was one other video I found, but in that one the baby was held upright and the head just rocked back. It wasn't a conscious move.
Congratulations to you. Look at how handsome he is, he is indeed a miracle baby.
Welcome to a wonderful world "bitcoin," you shall be great and greater than your dad and mum and that is always the joy of a good parents for their child or children to achieve more in life than they have achieved and you shall be great "bitcoin." Your dad has been so good to me dear son, your dad always show me love and I don't even Know how to thank him enough, he surprised me with an overwhelming donations for my project to visit an orphanage home to make them feel loved again and I was almost at the verge of crying when I saw that son, you do have a great family that care more about the well being of the unknown let alone of the known ones. But "bitcoin" it seems to you look like your mum and please and please, when you grow up, protect and care more about them for they must have been through "thick and thin" to have you. Love you son "bitcoin," i am your dads agent, spam detector............ ❤
I started my nursing career as a paediatrics nurse. I must say this is indeed a rare occurrence. I Hope our "bitcoin" baby brings good tidings and hope to our crypto space.
Congratulations @swissclive
I have not seen or heard that before,but i can't disqualify the fact without a better proof. I could remember back then in school,we were taught that some children perform certain activities faster than the regular children,so we tag such children gifted and talented children. My advice is that you should keep having a good look on the child,ensure you record every strange things you notice about him while growing, especially when he talks,walks and some other things,i am sure he will have it faster than the regular children. And this will help you to discover him on time so as to put him up for the right programme.
But from the look of things,i could conclude that the boy is an exceptional one.
Congrats dear @swissclive ,my warm greetings to @bitcoin
You have to tell us the secrete behind this name... Smile
Well like every parent, I want to capture his first words. The trouble is knowing what is a word and what is just baby babble.
Smile,i understand. But how to detect such is quiet simple if you can just be more attentive to him which i know you will do,the way he will pronounce such word would be more mature than his age and those regular children. Even if it is just baby babble,you would sense the high level of maturity when you compare his words with his age.
That's not the only way any way. They can also show maturity from the way they handle things,you can detect this by giving him little task like putting napkin beside him,it might end up in his hand. Smile
Another one is when he starts crawling,you can place a barrier while leaving just little space before him (we call this psychomotor test),some children would just crying,some would try the little space while some others would want to cross the barrier. This action shows different level of intelligent and motor control in children. Try it with baby Bitcoin,you would be amazed with the way he would surprise you. Smile
