If a baby's brain is not nurtured in it's first year of life it would have long-term implications as 90-95 per cent of the adult brain cells are present after the first year of a baby's life. In fact the first organism to form after conception is the baby's brain.

More for would-be Mothers to worry about and more for existing Mothers to feel guilty about? Unfortunately "Scientific Speculation" isn't taken as seriously now-a-days as there's just so much of it and so much of it has proved to be either government led (as in playing up for their next scare tactic) or just plain unprovable as other scientists will no doubt speculate otherwise. Its sad but since Science bent to the will of government it's lost it's integrity and is more often then not just seen to be PC-rubbish. Take Man made climate change as an example. If you've got a child who doesn't exhibit signs of brilliance don't feel bad about it - sometimes its just genetic you know. (I wonder if Einstein was fed protein enriched milk when he was a baby?).
