Three weeks past her due date, baby Nyilah Daise Tzabari made a powerful entrance into the world on February 27, 2023. Just two and a half days old, she stunned hospital staff by lifting her head and attempting to crawl—an extraordinary feat for a newborn.

Her mom, Samantha Mitchell of White Oak, Pennsylvania, caught the moment on video, her own voice filled with shock. A childcare professional with over 20 years of experience, Samantha was amazed. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” she said. The video quickly went viral, amassing millions of views and widespread amazement.

Nyilah’s impressive development didn’t stop there. She rolled from belly to back at just 18 days old, smiled by one month, rolled back to belly at two months, and by three months was trying to stand. “She refuses to bend her knees when we hold her,” Samantha noted. “She doesn’t even need head support anymore.”

Social media lit up with both awe and humor. TikTok commenters joked, “These new babies are built different,” and, “I’d move out and let HER raise me,” as her videos gained over 57 million views.

But it’s not just Nyilah’s physical strength that amazes—her social and cognitive skills are also advanced. By seven weeks, she was mimicking speech and laughing, fully engaged with her surroundings.

With loving parents Samantha and Ofer Tzabari cheering her on, Nyilah is already rewriting the book on baby milestones. Her early achievements suggest a future as bright and bold as her remarkable beginnings.
