Question

Are babies born in early part of the year (Jan/Feb) smarter than their peers born in Dec?Seeking fellow mummies’ opinion if you have any thoughts or experience to share about TTC and planning birth month.

I don’t think it works that way. I mean all babies are smart their brain are like sponges. So they learn very fast and this depends on your parenting and teaching style. We never plan which month baby need to be born as this will cause additional stress to both couple, especially if one is trying to conceive. I prefer to let nature takes its course and just enjoy it. What meant to be yours will come to you eventually.
