Many developmental and behavioural changes take place in the first 6 weeks. Parents, family/whānau and caregivers can help baby grow and develop.
Growth & learning
Most of baby’s brain development occurs in the first 3 years of life. It is their experiences during these years that enable their brain to grow. If you are concerned about your baby’s hearing, eyesight or development, talk with your Plunket nurse, other well child health provider or doctor. It is important to pick up any problems early so your child can be helped as soon as possible.
