Your baby's amazing brain

Article Abstract:

Babies analyze information about the world from the moment of their birth. The newborn's brain uses around 45% of its total daily caloric intake, compared to the adult usage of 18%. Infants respond better to talk, and particularly to singsong rhythms and high-pitched tones. They need routines and time to process their experiences.
