The literature also says that to some extent formation of the connections depend on exposure to our environment--through relationships and experiences.

Jaundice is a yellow color that can be seen in the skin, mucous membranes, or eyes. When red blood cells break down, bilirubin is released into the bloodstream. Jaundice is caused by a build-up of bilirubin in the blood. The liver changes bilirubin so that it can leave the body. Jaundice is very common in newborn babies. It is usually easy to spot because the baby's skin and whites of the eyes turn a yellow color. Babies become jaundiced when they have too much bilirubin in their blood. Jaundice usually is not a problem. But in rare cases, too much bilirubin in the blood can cause brain damage. This can lead to hearing loss, mental retardation, and behavior problems.

Once your baby starts to grow they need variation in food and taste. So, it's time to get creative! Your 6 to 9 month baby will be eager to try new foods now, and may even start to chew, with those beautifully new teeth. Learn how to create meals that will please his tiny palate! There are no hard and fast rules here. All babies are different, with their own unique likes and dislikes. Just like you and me!

At 6-9 months baby food recipes include softly mashed, or chopped into fine pieces of fruits, vegetables, meats, pasta and dairy such as yogurt and cheeses. Pasta, veggies, and fruit should all be soft cooked and possibly mashed with a fork or masher. (Bananas need only be mashed, l like added some boiled and cooled water to it to make it like a mouse, try it and you will see what l mean.) Raw fruits are often introduced at this stage. Meats and proteins should be cooked and pureed or chopped into small soft bits. If offering Tofu, you need not cook it first. Ensure dairy offered is easily manageable as they may have no teeth at all and if they do they have to learn how to chew.
