In the very beginning, it may seem that your baby does nothing but eat, sleep, cry, and fill her diapers.
But your infant is learning too.
She can see and hear what is happening around her and can communicate her needs and interests to others.
Parents can help their babies learn by playing with them. You are your baby's first teacher, and first experiences have a very important effect on the future.
The growth of your baby’s brain is effected by the care and experiences you provide.
