Repetition is Golden!

Once Baby Arrives, Note to Parents:
 Repetition is Golden!

Ever wondered why your little one loves that same story or song on repeat? It's not just their favorite tune; it's science at play! 

Repetition forms the cornerstone of learning, especially for newborns and babies. 

Each replay, each encore, helps solidify neural connections, turning fleeting moments into long-term memories. It's like building a brick wall; the more you layer, the sturdier it becomes! So, when your baby asks for that lullaby for the umpteenth time, remember: they're not just enjoying the melody; they're cementing their knowledge.
