Your child is doing science.
Every time your child drops the spoon on the high chair for the umpteenth time, you may wonder: is this wrong? No. That is your child doing science.
From the first weeks of life – in fact, from before birth – your baby’s brain is developing very rapidly. Every experience, every face, every new taste helps build the foundation for everything he can learn. This is how it all works.
It starts before birth
Your baby’s brain begins to develop in the first weeks of pregnancy. By the time he arrived, the work was already difficult. Babies recognize their mother’s voice in the womb, and can respond with songs they hear over and over again. The calm you feel humming the same song every evening? Your child is listening – I remember.
Learning by doing
After birth, almost everything is a learning moment. Your child is a natural explorer, driven by curiosity. Dropping a spoon, pulling a sock, splashing water from the bathtub – every repetition is an experiment of your child and its consequences. What happens when I do this? And this? And this again?
Give them a safe place to try, and try to resist the urge to quit every little adventure. Damages are appropriate.
Learning through power
Touch, taste, smell, see, hear. Your child processes the world through all five senses at the same time, so everything ends up in his mouth.
This is why introducing new textures and flavors early – whether through dairy or starter foods – is so important. Every new taste is a little adventure for their developing brain. The range of My Organic Formula was created with this in mind, using gentle natural ingredients, which feel familiar from the original food.
Learning through repetition
Your child finds comfort and understanding in practice. The same words at nappy time, the same song before bed, the same order at mealtime – these routines help their brains map the world. When they know what’s coming, they feel safe. And a baby who feels safe is a baby who is ready to learn.
Learning by watching you
You are your child’s primary teacher, and they are listening carefully. They will imitate your speech, your gestures, the way you eat, the way you laugh. This imitation isn’t just fun – it’s one of the most powerful learning tools at their disposal.
Eat together when you can. Let them see you. Let them try. Even if it ends up with a purée in your hair.
Learning through play
Play is big business for a child. Whether it’s rocking, cupping, or just looking at the cell phone on top of the crib, play is how babies make sense of everything around them. You don’t need creative toys or activities – everyday moments are full of learning opportunities.
Bath time, nappy changes, pram walks. It all counts.
What does this mean to you?
The most important thing you can do for your child’s brain development is not difficult. It’s happening. Talking to them, responding to their interests, letting them explore at their own pace.
Proper nutrition
Eating a healthy diet also helps. A well-nourished child has the energy and enthusiasm to do all that the world has to offer. Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding, or a combination of both, making sure your baby is getting the right nutrition at every stage lays the foundation for a healthy future.
