Baby's brain development

2022-12-28 08:25:40
Hi, I have a general query, If a baby is born a few weeks earlier ( say 3-4 weeks) does the brain develop post birth the same way as it does in the womb during the last week? There is no problem with my baby but since he was born 4 weeks earlier so I wanted to understand how it works as I read during the last weeks the brain size develops rapidly.
