The First 60 Days Movement
A baby is filled with possibilities. An infant is born as a beautifully undefinable and unique individual with an exceptional essence of potential to be revealed.
Each newborn is also born with a far from fully developed brain.
Research now reveals that the first two months of life have an extremely significant influence on the foundation for long-term health and overall development. This is due to how rapidly the brain is developing and how malleable it is based on either nurturing or adverse experiences during these disproportionately important early days, weeks and months.
Imagine how incredibly different our world would be if every adult realized, understood and supported the first 60 days of life for babies and their parent(s). We will then have a generation of babies that grow up to live in love.
You are invited to join us in creating needed awareness, understanding and support to contribute to making this invaluable difference that ultimately benefits every one of us.
Want to Know What The Frist 60 Days Movement is?
The primary focus is to create broad awareness of the research findings revealing the incredible importance of nurturing and regulation for mental health development in the first two months of life and secondly to directly support or advocate for those that are influencing or providing healthy development.

Wondering about the amount of Involvement Needed?
The amount of time or commitment involved is entirely up to you! You can be involved in a way that fits you best.
You might be a supporter in sharing weekly insights, generate conversations with people you know, support new parents in your community directly, network with other members, contact media, reach out to local or national decision makers, advocate for policies, initiate a research study, invite sponsors or conduct fundraising to get The First 60 Days booklet to new or expecting parents. It ALL helps!
Want an extremely simple way to help?
The easiest way to be involved is to simply share the weekly insight.
Each week and insight is sent to all members. Everyone involved will then share that insight in the way(s) that are most convenient and/or most effective.
When multiple people share the same message throughout the week, it creates an impact.
The brain learns from repetition. When the insights is seen repeatedly, it is best remembered and learning occurs. We are contributing to making this needed understanding become common knowledge.
