To understand Infant Stimulation, it is important, first, to dispel the myths that babies only eat, sleep and excrete; that they don’t see well; cant hear at all; and in general don’t know what’s going on around them until they are three months old.

We must replace those myths with these eight revolutionary proven facts of life.

• Fetuses respond to their mother’s heartbeat and voice while still in the womb.
• Up to six weeks before birth, fetuses actively use their senses of taste, touch, sight, hearing and movement, as documented by changes in fetal brain-wave patterns.
• In the first two hours after birth, newborns maintain alertness longer than they will for the next two months.
• Infant Stimulation can help babies sounds and facial movements like tongue thrusts when only four days old, recognize a simple word at only nine months, and construct complete sentences before eighteen months.
• Babies have a biological need to learn
• Any stimulation provided during the first twelve months has more impact on the brain’s growth than at any other time in baby’s future life.
• By six months of age, a full 50 percent of baby’s brain growth has occurred.
