In this video, I look at the neuroscience of the first three months of life: what's really happening inside your newborn's brain, why the evolutionary theory behind the fourth trimester is more complicated than most parenting books admit, and what a randomised controlled trial on Kangaroo Care tells us about how your touch literally shapes your baby's developing brain. 📚 Study referenced: Feldman et al.
