A baby girl from Pennsylvania has taken the internet by storm after a video showed her crawling, lifting her head, and propping herself up — all just three days after birth.
Nyilah Daise Tzabari, born on March 2, 2023, was three weeks past her due date and already showing surprising strength. Her mother, Samantha Mitchell, captured the moment during tummy time after her own mother urged her to start recording. “I’ve been around babies for over 20 years — I’ve never seen anything like it,” Mitchell said.
The TikTok video quickly went viral, racking up millions of views and likes. Many viewers were stunned, with some joking, “She’ll be walking into college next week!”
Experts say while rare, such early motor skills can happen — especially in post-term babies. “It’s unusual but not concerning,” said neonatal specialist Dr. Leanne Porter. “She appears strong and healthy.”
Nyilah’s development has continued to impress. By two months, she was rolling both ways and trying to stand. She even mimics sounds and reacts to laughter — showing signs of advanced cognitive awareness.
Despite the attention, her parents say they’re not rushing her. “She moves at her own pace,” Mitchell said. “We’re just enjoying the ride.”
