Congrats! if you are expecting. Well, at first you should confirm their health with ultrasound baby scan clinic. These come handy to evaluate their overall growth and well-being. It gives you time to prepare for the upcoming baby as well. Picking a name is a good idea. In case you are much eager, it is wiser to get an accurate result from a gender scan clinic during pregnancy. It will help you pick the names much easier. But, now if you like the element of surprise, picking names for both boy and girl is great. But whether its a boy or a girl, human infants are called babies in general, until they reach the age of 5-7 years and we refer them separately. This thought had made me list some most common animals along with the terms we have for their young ones. So, read on and have fun, while you are all buckled upon with your own young one.

Man’s best friend (and women too) have the world most adorable babies that melt our hearts instantly. We call them as puppies.
