Help Your Baby's Brain To Grow

Your baby’s brain wiring is not fully connected at birth. It is very active, changing and developing in response to what’s going on all around them. It is the day-to-day experiences—activities like playing, being read to, learning, and interacting and being responded to by people—that helps to develop your baby’s brain.
How well all the wiring gets set up—that is, how your baby’s brain develops—will affect her ability to learn the language, solve problems, and do well in school. Later in life, it can affect her physical and emotional health and how she gets along with other people.

Your baby’s brain develops through use - by your baby interacting, observing and doing things.
You can help your baby’s development by creating a stimulating environment with different types of activities that offer your baby the chance to play. It’s through play that they learn important skills like talking, listening, moving, thinking, solving problems and socializing.
You can play and spend time with your baby by:
  • singing together
  • reading books
  • talking about what you’re doing and seeing
  • playing games
  • healthy food - helps cell growth. Good foods for your baby are breast milk (or formula) and, once your baby is ready for solid foods, a balanced diet of fresh vegetables, fruit, grains, dairy and proteins (such as meat, chicken, and eggs).
  • moving and being active - develops motor skills and allows them to explore their surroundings, which helps them think and learn.
  • loving relationships and interactions with others - boost communication skills and understanding about the world around them.
  • sleep - all babies are different and they sleep in different ways at different times. But working with your baby to help them sleep will help their development.

Creating a warm, loving environment helps your baby feel safe and loved, which promotes brain development. Everyday moments, such as having a bath and eating, are great opportunities for you to get to know each other and build your relationship.
It’s these moments that help your baby’s brain form new connections, which in turn prepares your baby for the next stage in their development.
