how to improve brain capacity of a 4 month baby?

Answer 1

Let it grow up? What can you expect it to learn at 4 months?

Answer 2

I have to agree with a lot of the others...you don't really have to task yourself to help a baby learn. Talking seems to be the biggest thing...some baby talk, some big words (when our son was that age, we would make a game out of a "word of the day"...we'd think of the biggest word we knew, spell it, use it in a sentence and then give a definition. I'm not sure if it helped Penn, but we thought it was hilarious.) Studies show that stimulation aids intellect...lots of cuddles and touching and chatting and music can help build those brain cells. Introduce her to smells and sounds and sights and her little neurons will fire pretty well on their own.

Don't keep the baby cooped up...take him to the store with you, let him see faces and colors and shapes. Take him to church or school or work, let him know that there are other people in the world. From an early age, we would also take my son to play rehearsals and performances (I'm in theater) and museums. (He's outgrown the theater time...applause makes him burst into tears.)

Play with him...whether it's "this little piggy" or just acting like a general fool. Read to him, anything at all--books and magazines and the newspaper, and let him see you doing the same. We read a lot here and it's funny to see my eleven-month-old lying on the floor with a magazine, perusing the pictures and then turning the page.

As your baby gets closer to the six-month point, you're going to be blown away by how much curiosity she shows. I think it's actually harder to stunt a baby's intellect than it is to help it grow. Most of all...enjoy yourself. Life will get a lot more chaotic in the next few months.

Answer 3

Nutrition and Stimuli.

Balanced levels of nutritious food, sleep and stimuli from the environment. Read, sing and talk to your baby. Play music, nursery rhythms, stories and appropriate toys. Do not underestimate the age of the baby, they are alot more receptive than most adults would think. Reading, crawling, walking, etc can be achieved at much earlier stages of development with proper support. But be cautious not to use the wrong methods. For example, if you use a walker, you will impair the child's learning ability to walk because the walker becomes crutch.

The other point is not to over push the development of your child, your role is a catalyst, to enable the child to achieve its own potential. Most important is to enjoy the time with the child and the more natural the process and with as little stress to yourself and the child, the better it is. Remember that your baby is unique and has its own timing, don't rush, but encourage at the right pace.

Answer 4

They say classical music somehow helps increase brain activity, and sign language is a very interesting concept. Check out some book stores, I don't think you are talking about making your four month old a brainiac, just trying to hopefully be a good parent. There are a lot of books on that subject. Good luck

Answer 5

Children learn what they live. Speak to your child in simple language as if you were speaking to someone who could talk back to you. This will definately improve his/her brain capacity. Also , buy educational toys for his/her age and become involved in his/her play time. Read and sing to to your child. These should help.

Answer 6

I have always read to my babies from early on and also talked normally,using a large vocabulary. It seems to have worked the older 2 are both in gifted enrichment! Personally I would avoid a lot of battery operated toys, it seems to add to the problem of children not learning to occupy themselves later on,also they don't use there cognitive skills as much if all the toys do the work for them. - mom of 5

Answer 7

Why don't you work on your own brain capacity before you think of your babys

Answer 8

Hello. My son just turned 5 months... so I got a couple of tips to share...

I agree with talking to your baby with real talk, not baby talk, but you should keep an eye on your baby's reaction, sometimes it pleases him to listen to baby talk.

Try to also mouth slowly and very distinctly two-syllables words like ma-ma-ma or da-da-da and watch his/her mouth trying to mimic your lips though he/she might not repeat the words just yet.

Start naming things as you give it to your child. And repeat ofter, like "This is a teddy bear, you want Mr. Bear, yes it's a cute Bear!" etc.

Go buy toys that are colorful and make him/her want to explore more (something that rattles and turn). At this stage, he/she will also love to put everything in his/her mouth, so make sure things are clean and let him/her do it - because this is how they are exploring and recognizing things.

My son loves taking the phone from my hand and chew on in... my dad loves listening to him chew on the other line :-) He also chew on my ipod sometimes!

Oh and bottom line, show your child that you love him/her and always applaud or say Bravo! for each achievement, even the smallest thing, like catching his own feet :-P

Answer 9

Holy cow! Let your baby be a freakin' baby! It's brain will develop properly! Although it wouldn't hurt to talk to it (not baby talk), read to it, and give it age-appropriate toys that make different noises (like crinkling and clicking).

Answer 10

Communicate openly and thoroughly with the baby. I also hear that black and white colors stimulate a babies brain as well.
