Cells and tissues attributed to the work of the central nervous system also have astonishing rates of development. The cells responsible for analytical work and regulation, in their development, depend on the nature of the baby's nutrition. Children who are at this age on breastfeeding, are characterized by more favorable development of the nervous system.
