MIL keeps telling me to read good books and stay happy so baccha smart bane. Is there actually anything in diet or habits that helps with baby's brain dev? Curious what you all did.
Listen, just focus on keeping yourself happy and stress-free right now, that is the best gift you can give your baby. Your baby will be perfect and smart just the way they are. Don't take unnecessary pressure of reading books you don't like or listening to random brain videos.
Mere dadi bolte the almonds bhigo kar khao and read good books. I used to do simple crossword puzzles on my phone and eat normal ghar ka khana, fruits, and dahi. No need to spend money on fancy classical music or expensive pregnancy classes.
I totally get this pressure, I also spent hours googling how to increase baby IQ and got so stressed out. It made me feel like I wasn't doing enough if I didn't eat right things or think smart thoughts. But trust me, as long as you are healthy, your baby's brain will develop perfectly.
Hum toh bas normal ghar ka khana khate the aur iron-calcium pills on time lete the. Extra expensive brain development supplements and expensive tests ke chakkar me mat pado, sab marketing hai. Save that money for baby's vaccination and hospital bills later!
From my experience, baby's learning starts after they are born and you feed them and talk to them. During pregnancy, I just focused on staying happy and eating balanced meals so baby got good nutrition. Keep it simple and enjoy this phase!
honestly, there is no magic trick to make a genius baby in 9 months. I just listened to podcasts during my commute and did my office work to keep my brain active. Just stay active, eat your proteins, and let genetics do the rest.
