In life, the elderly often say that "the oldest baby is smarter". In their impression, the baby with the biggest head has more brain cells and larger capacity, because the bigger the head, the more knowledge, so it is smarter.
According to Cambridge scholars' research on neonatal brain development, there is a certain degree of relationship between neonatal head circumference and baby's brain development.
As we all know, human beings, as advanced creatures in the biological world, are not completely saturated in the process of evolution, but gradually increase with time.
The first cell developed in an embryo is a nerve cell. In the process of the gradual development of the brain, the skull is gradually formed according to the development degree of brain tissue.
The head circumference of newborns is close to this figure.
The brain develops best!
In the field of medical research, the size of head circumference is an indirect criterion to judge brain volume.
From September, 2065438 to September, 2008, Harvard University released the results of a five-year study, which proved that the head circumference of newborns affects intelligence, and 34 cm is the best head circumference standard.
Head circumference, like height and weight, is an important index reflecting the development level of infants, which has reference significance from birth to 2 years old.
Mom reminds parents that if the baby's head circumference is too large and the head circumference grows too fast, parents should pay attention to the possibility of eliminating hydrocephalus. If the head circumference is too small, it is necessary to refer to the height and weight to judge whether the baby is stunted.
What effect does the head circumference have on the baby?
The head circumference affects the baby's birth.
During childbirth, if the baby's head circumference is too large, it will lead to dystocia. As we all know, when giving birth, the mother comes out first. At this time, if the baby's head circumference is too large, it will bring certain risks to the mother and baby.
If the baby's head circumference is within the normal range, then the mother can give birth to the baby smoothly. If the head circumference is too large, the head can't come out first during delivery, which will lead to dystocia to a great extent.
Head circumference affects your baby's IQ.
Head circumference does affect your baby's IQ. In fact, it is not good for the baby's head circumference to be too big or too small. As long as it is not within the normal range, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Abnormal increase of baby's head circumference may cause hydrocephalus. If it is not treated in time, it may cause mental and physical obstacles to the baby, and the consequences are very serious.
If the baby's head circumference is too small, it may be brain hypoplasia or head deformity, and the baby's intelligence will also be affected.
How to exercise your baby's reaction ability?
0 1
Distinguish sound
In our daily life, we often hear all kinds of voices. For example: motorcycle starting sound, car horn sound, telephone ringing, etc.
Parents can tell their baby what these sounds are when they hear them, so as to exercise their baby's reaction ability.
Let the baby exercise his language and thinking ability while distinguishing sounds. Parents can bring their baby into contact with nature, or visit the zoo, so that the baby can often hear different sounds.
When babies have memories of different sounds, they can be trained to recognize them after hearing them. Parents stimulate babies' hearing and make them feel sharper and smarter.

Choose the right game
Animal toys are towed away: to attract children's attention
Seeing this, some parents will definitely ask Ya Ya's mother when to buy the animal toys that have been towed away. Too OUT!
No, no, no. If parents think so, it's all wet. Because Qizhi toys are not out of date, you don't know that babies will be fascinated by walking "animal toys".
The baby will gradually understand that the rope still has such tension. As long as it walks by itself, it will always follow, which is more enlightening than those electric toys.
Mama Ya believes that parents will soon find that babies prefer to walk with "animal toys" compared with other electric toys!
Ring: the first step of enlightenment
Three-month-old babies can play the "ring" with one hand, and they begin to try the effects of touch, feeling, vision or taste.
Touch it with your hands and feel the feeling on your hands; Look at the color of toys with your eyes; Taste toys with your mouth; The sound of shaking the ring can also train the baby's hearing. In fact, this simplest toy is the first step for a baby to develop his intelligence.
Building blocks: stimulate your baby's hands-on ability
For babies about 8 months old, they already know many things, such as toys, desks and chairs.
Not only that, they also know which items are soft, which are hard, which are angular and which are round.
When the baby faces the building blocks, he will open two small hands to catch the building blocks, so that the two building blocks will collide and make a sound.
With the help of parents, you can also help your baby build one building block on another to increase the height. Parents can teach your baby to build different patterns with building blocks.
How to test your baby's head circumference;
Let the baby lie down smoothly. Older babies can sit in a sitting position. Parents start with eyebrows with a soft ruler in front of the baby.
Circle the baby's head horizontally, and the horizontal point of the back of the head is subject to the highest point of the pillow.
Finally, wrap the flexible ruler back to the eyebrows, overlap the flexible ruler, and check the value.
Yaya mother reminds expectant mothers to have a checkup on time during pregnancy and deal with problems in time. After all, the baby's healthy development is the most important thing.
