Neural Nugget: Babies who are talked to frequently know about 300 more words by age 2 than babies who hear fewer words, giving them a stronger foundation for language and learning.

One of the best ways to support healthy brain development is through serve-and-return interactions: the back-and-forth of talking, playing, making faces, and responding to your baby's sounds and cues. These everyday moments help build the brain, one interaction at a time.

Every family deserves support. Every parent deserves care.

As many as 1 in 5 people experience anxiety, depression or another mental health disorder during pregnancy or after birth. Nearly 22% of mothers report less than optimal mental health, yet half of those diagnosed with perinatal depression never receive treatment. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4gaSHmm

We know that a caregiver's well-being shapes a child's earliest experiences. That's why maternal mental health isn't a personal issue. It's a public health issue. It's an early childhood issue. And it's an investment in the healthy development of the next generation.

Believing in babies means investing in the mental health of the people who care for them. Because when parents are supported, babies thrive.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262) to connect with counselors 24/7. If you or someone else is in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 or call 911 right away.

Neural Nugget: Between 0–3 years old, a child’s brain forms over 1 million neural connections per second. This time in life is the most pivotal, and also the most vulnerable for brain development. Early experiences shape cognitive development in early childhood.
