Have you heard that your baby's brain is like a sponge? That's true, but it's up to you to help them absorb as much as possible to stimulate their neural functions. Here are some tips to activate your baby's mind even before they are born.

Your baby can fully develop and exceed expectations, and it's in your hands. In fact, the things you need to do to help their brain flourish are quite simple, and here we list some for you to consider how to help your most cherished one achieve their goals.

For their emotional intelligence

Babies can hear, remember, and recognize voices they hear while in the womb, so talk to them and sing to them. They will know that they recognize that voice from somewhere, and thus you will start to create an auditory and emotional bond.

For their creative development

It has been proven that music stimulates verbal skills, spatial memory, and creativity in children. In fact, it activates both parts of the brain, especially classical music due to its complex patterns. From Mozart to Beethoven, children enjoy it.

For their nervous system

Increase your protein intake during pregnancy, as these nutrients form the brain cells of the baby. A bit of Greek yogurt daily along with peanut butter can provide a great protein boost.

For their immune system

When your baby is born, it is important to breastfeed them, not only to create that bond between mother and child but also because breast milk contains DHA and ARA, two naturally occurring lipids that contribute to the neurological development of certain parts of the brain.

For their psychomotor skills

Keep playing and challenging them. Babies, like adults, learn from experience and adversity. Being overly accommodating to an infant can deprive them of developing their full cognitive potential, so if they can sit up, place their toys just out of reach to encourage crawling. Gradually, they will figure out how to reach their goals.

For their neuronal development

Speaking of foods, there is a detailed list of ingredients that stimulate babies' brains. Fish that contain Omega 3, like salmon, help with proper brain development. In fact, there is a link between children who exceed expectations in school and their mothers who consumed large amounts of Omega 3 during pregnancy.

For their cranial resilience

To protect your baby's cerebral cortex, consume the following during pregnancy and feed them when they are born: blueberries, spinach, papaya, artichokes, and tomatoes.
