Boosting Your Baby's Brain Development Tips

When a baby is born, at birth, the baby has 100 billion neurons that will grow trillions of brain cell connections during the toddler hood. It is important to provide fruitful and enriching experience for your baby, so that these synapses can be closely wired. This will lead to better planning, reasoning and language skills. Synapses that are not properly wired together can be lost during the school years. Interestingly, a baby’s brain has twice as many neural connections as any adult’s brain. When you love and cherish your baby, you give his neural connections more chances to become more wired together. Here are some tips for boosting your baby’s brain development.
