An increase in body weight in newborn babies, especially in the first month of age, it is related to the child's level of intelligence (IQ). Added baby weight quickly, so does the circumference of the head, tend to have higher IQ scores in school age. According to a research team from the University of Adelaide, Australia. This research was conducted to 13,800 baby born normal. From this study, the researchers found, the baby's weight goes up 40 percent in the first month of age have a higher IQ than that just went up 15 percent. This resulted in increased levels of 1.5 points higher IQ.
"Overall, the babies have an increased weight at 4 weeks first have higher IQ scores in the future," said thehead of research, Dr Lisa Smithers. Children with high weight reached verbal IQ score is greater at the age of 6 years. A child with a large head circumference sizes also have the highest IQ at the age of 6 years. "Head circumference is an indicator of the volume of the brain. Increased head circumference is greater in the newborn indicates the growth of the brain more quickly, "said Smithers. This may be due to nerve structures related to developing faster-speaking intelligence in the age of the baby. Therefore, an increase in weight in the newborn was influential on the development of the cognitive aspects directly. Smither said, further study will focus on how well to feed a newborn. "We know some moms are having difficulty giving BREAST MILK to infants in the first weeks of life. When repaired quickly, certainly a better result, "Smither said.
