Meet Nyilah Daise Tzabari: The Baby Breaking All the Rules
Three weeks late to her debut, little Nyilah Daise Tzabari entered the world with one mission: to make up for lost time. And she didn’t waste a second.
Crawling at Just Two Days Old
At only two and a half days old, still in the hospital, Nyilah stunned everyone — even the nurses — by lifting her head and attempting to crawl in her cot. Yes, a newborn under 72 hours old moving with strength many babies don’t show for months.
Her mom, Samantha Mitchell, 34, from White Oak, Pennsylvania, captured the moment on video. “I’ve been around kids for over 20 years,” Samantha said. “I’ve never seen anything like this.”
In the clip, Samantha gasps in shock. “Oh my gosh… Mom! She’s crawling!” Her mother replies, “No freaking way.”
A Baby Unlike Any Other
Born on February 27, 2023, weighing 7 lbs 6 oz, Nyilah wasted no time defying every expectation of infant development. Pediatric guidelines suggest babies start crawling around 6 to 12 months — Nyilah tried before she even left the hospital.
And her milestones didn’t stop there. Here’s a snapshot of her first months:
-
18 days old – Rolling from belly to back
-
1 month – Smiling at her parents
-
2 months – Rolling back to belly
-
3 months – Throwing punches and trying to stand
“She refuses to buckle her knees when we hold her,” Samantha said. “She wants to stand. She’s so strong, she doesn’t need her head supported anymore.”
TikTok Can’t Get Enough
Samantha uploaded the video — her first ever on TikTok — and it has now racked up over 57 million views. Fans are in awe of Baby Nyilah:
“These new babies are built different — walking at 1 month, getting jobs at 2 years old.” “Rumor has it she caught a flight the next day to start her own life.” “I’d move out the house and let HER raise me.”
Strength, Smarts, and Sass
Nyilah isn’t just physically advanced — she’s clever and social. By seven weeks, she started mimicking speech, trying to copy her parents saying “I love you.” She repeats sounds to get a reaction whenever someone laughs.
“She’s so alert,” Samantha said. “If she sees us smile, she smiles back instantly. She’s such a happy baby.”
A Bright (and Busy!) Future
With a baby like this, Samantha and her fiancé, Ofer Tzabari, are already baby-proofing every inch of their home. Whatever the future holds, one thing is clear — the world is watching Baby Nyilah.
From crawling at three days to trying to talk at seven weeks, Nyilah is rewriting the baby book. We can’t wait to see what she does next. Congratulations to Samantha, Ofer, and their extraordinary little superstar.
