Teratology

Teratology is the study of how things grow in our body and how certain things can affect the growth of a baby When a mommy is pregnant, a baby starts to grow inside her tummy. Some things that the mommy comes into contact with, like medicine, alcohol, or cigarettes, can affect the baby as it grows.

Teratologists study these things to better understand what can cause babies to grow differently or have problems with their body. They try to figure out how to keep babies healthy as they grow in their mommies' tummies. They also try to find out what can be done to help babies who are born with problems.

So, think of teratology as a way of understanding how babies grow inside their mommies and what things can affect this growth. It helps us keep babies healthy, strong, and happy!
