Some pediatricians label a baby's first three months of life as the "fourth trimester" of pregnancy to emphasize how needy, and yet devoid of social skills, babies are at this stage. The newborn prefrontal cortex – the brain's so-called "executive" area – doesn't have much control, so like many parents in Singapore's efforts to discipline or worries about spoiling are useless at this stage. Instead, newborns are learning about hunger, loneliness, discomfort and fatigue – and what it feels like to have these needs taken care of. Parents, grandparent and helpers can help this process along by promptly responding to baby's needs.
