ESSENTIALS TO KNOW
The first 1,000 days of life are critical in establishing foundations for development, health and wellness.
Many items marketed for newborns do not support development and could even hinder progress.
Routines established from day one of bringing your baby home are easiest to maintain over time for your family.
"Reading to children at night, responding to their smiles with a smile, returning their vocalizations with one of your own, touching them, holding them - all of these further a child's brain development and future potential, even in the earliest months."
- T. Berry Brazelton
