Delayed by three weeks in entering this world, Nyilah Daise Tzabari made a sudden entrance strategy to compensate for lost time and accomplish tasks swiftly.
Raising her head and moving across her crib at a mere three days old, Nyilah, an exceptional infant, is developing at an unusually rapid pace, astonishing her first-time parents.

While still at the hospital, baby Nyilah was captured on film, lifting her head and moving in her crib.
She was under three days old.
“The footage was filmed when Nyilah was not even a complete three days old. She was two and a half days old,” said first-time mother, Samantha Mitchell, from White Oak, PA, who mentioned that her extraordinary baby makes her feel like “she’s never had a newborn before.”
Interviewed by Kennedy News (via New York Post), the 34-year-old mother commented, “I have looked after children for most of my life and have more than 20 years of experience with kids, and I have never witnessed something like this before.” She remarked, “I suppose I have not been around many newborns at the age of three days, so there are many subtleties to it, but I have never encountered a baby like this ever before.”
In the TikTok clip, as Nyilah utilizes her small front limbs to prop herself up and crawl, you can hear Samantha’s mother exclaim, “no fricken way,” and Samantha, sounding amazed, saying “Oh my goodness. Mom! She’s crawling! Mom!…how can she even move like that?”
Reacting to her baby’s cooing, Samantha mentions, “Well that’s the result of spending too much time in mommy’s belly.”

Welcomed by parents Samantha and her fiancé Ofer Tzabari, Nyilah was three weeks overdue. She made her debut on February 27, 2023, weighing 7 lbs 6 oz, and gained popularity when Samantha recorded her unexpected movements to convince her family and friends that her baby was already crawling.
“My mother was the only other person in the room when it happened, and she urged me to capture it on video,” Samantha stated. “No one would have believed me otherwise. My fiancé was not in the room, and I know that if I hadn’t recorded it, he would not have believed me…(The video shows) the first time I witnessed her crawl and I was completely shocked…The way she lifted her head and babbled left me completely stunned,” she added.
The video, Samantha’s maiden TikTok upload, has garnered 57.5 million views.
Fans were equally astounded by Nyilah’s remarkable strength, and joined in with remarks such as, “These new babies are different; they come out crawling, walk at 1 month old, talk at 3 months, and start working at 2 years old.”
Another user jests, “I would flee without the baby,” while another remarks, “Rumor has it she boarded a plane a day later to begin life.”
As stated by Healthline, most infants begin to creep or crawl between six to 12 months. “And for a lot of them, the crawling phase is brief–once they get a taste of independence, they start pulling up and cruising on the way to walking.”
“Oh dear! you better hurry home and baby-proof! that little one is already on the go!!” One user warned Samantha about her rapidly developing newborn.
“Sometimes I chuckle and just wish she could remain a baby,” Samantha expressed.
It appears that Nyilah is rapidly maturing. At only 18 days, she was rolling from her belly to her back, at one month old, she was flashing a smile at her mother, at two months, she was rolling from her back to her belly, and at three months, she was whacking her mom with her robust arms.
In a delightful video published on June 6, Samantha receives a mitten-covered fist to her face and giggling, she utters, “Oh you punched mommy.”
Aside from gauging the strength of her arms, Nyilah is already standing with assistance, and her mother predicts that it won’t be long before she starts walking.
“Without a doubt, she will start walking soon. At the moment, she stands. She puts so much pressure on her legs. We’re not encouraging her to stand. She simply refuses to bend her knees and sit down,” Samantha stated. “She is not yet standing unassisted, but she stands by holding onto us and is constantly trying to stand.”
Moreover, Samantha reveals that Nyilah is so sturdy that she no longer requires support for her head and neck.
“Every day, she surprises me. She tries to push herself out of her little chair and bouncer when we put her in it as well…She is an incredibly alert baby and has been so since birth. Her strength from day one shocked us,” the mother remarked.
Nyilah is proving to be very talkative. At seven weeks, she made an attempt to engage in a conversation, mimicking words spoken by her parents, Samantha and Ofer.
“We always tell her I love you and she seemed to be attempting to echo it back to us and trying to say it. We couldn’t believe it. It is more akin to babbling, but she is definitely trying to mimic us,” Samantha mentioned. “If she makes a noise and we laugh, she will continue making the noise because she knows we’ll respond. She’s a very clever baby.”
Nyilah is also an extremely cheerful infant.

“She is such a smiley, happy baby and laughs all the time. The moment you smile at her, she starts smiling and laughing back at us. She is such a joyful baby and I hope her videos bring happiness to everyone.” Tzabari added, “For me, it was my first time being with a newborn, and I assumed her actions were typical until people began informing me otherwise…I thought this was how babies were, but in reality, her behaviors are not typical for a baby of her age.”
Niyalah is an adorable addition to the expanding family of Samantha Mitchell and Ofer Tzabari. We trust that their residence is well prepared to accommodate the swiftly growing baby, who undoubtedly will be very inquisitive once she starts walking. We eagerly anticipate seeing what Niyalah accomplishes next. Congratulations to the parents of this exceptional baby!
