The Brain Grows Faster in the First Year
At birth, a baby's brain is 25 percent of adult size. By the first birthday, it is 80 percent. Nutrition and responsive care in the first year directly shape the brain's architecture.
What Builds a Strong Brain
Talking to the baby constantly, reading from birth, responding to cries consistently, tummy time, and limiting screen time to zero before 18 months. What the baby needs most is you, fully present.
