Your Baby’s Blooming Brain
Your baby’s sweet little head is born with billions of brain cells which have the ability to be stimulated to grow based on early and enriching experiences. These brain cells are ready for you to nurture so they can form the connections needed for your baby to bloom and grow to their greatest potential.
While many factors influence brain development, YOUR EARLY INTERACTIONS HAVE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACT! It is important you stimulate your baby’s brain and plant the seeds for their life successes much earlier than you may be aware.
Look Who’s Talking (Communicating)
Are you talking to me? When is it possible for my baby to start communicating with me? SURPRISE! If you start talking to your baby right after delivery, your newborn may turn their head toward you! You can experience this amazing interaction, especially if you have been talking and singing to your baby during your pregnancy.
After a few days many babies will stick their tongue out and then if you do the same, your newborn may imitate you. These are ways your newborn begins to communicate
