How to use "Early" in context?
Few things in life are certain, but one is that life starts early. Many people think of birthdays as the beginning of a new year, but for most babies, life starts just a few hours after they are born. A newborn's brain is 80% active and they are capable of learning and reacting to the world around them.
You can see this in action from the first day of life. Babies reflexively reach out and touch their parents or other adults in their care. They are also instinctively curious about their environment, exploring everything with their eyes and hands.
More than just being curious, newborns are also learning.
