Enforce Consistency

Help Baby's memory development by keeping her surroundings consistent and creating daily routines. Make her playtime predictable. If she plays with the same toys in the same room at the same time every day, she will remember the scenario much longer than if playtime changes every day. Even little things, such as changing the songs you sing to her, will hinder her ability to remember them. Right now, Baby is only developing her short-term memory.

Perfect Age to Start: 0 to 3 Months

Great advice. I have actually found myself singing the same 2-3 songs every single night as I put my little one to sleep ever since he was born almost 10 months ago, simply because they're the ones that come to mind (I remember my mom singing them a lot too when I was little). Great to know I'm helpling baby's memory. I knew routine was important as far as getting babies on a good sleep schedule, but didn't even think about it helpling their memory!
