Your baby’s brain is developing through everyday movements and interaction

Your baby is learning so much and their brain is going through extreme development. They are starting to gain head control, vision, posture and balance, while working out early social, emotional and linguistic forms of communication.

Love your baby 

With this in mind, take the pressure off yourself, love your baby and have fun. Spend time with them, sing to them, chat to them, have cuddles and smile at them. These natural instinctive reactions and ideas will help your baby grow and thrive in more ways than you might imagine. 

But remember, don’t be afraid to have time for yourself 

Don’t feel that you have to be at their side 100% of the time. Giving your baby opportunities to look around while their vision develops allows them to discover what interests them. Your baby might find a sound appealing, and providing them free time will give them the skills to play and learn later in life. 

By allowing yourself time with and without your baby, you are helping their brain connections develop. You are naturally supporting your baby in reaching their highest potential.
