The first 1,000 days can shape a child’s future. We have one chance to get it right.

We all want what's best for our children, but being a parent isn't always easy. That's why UNICEF Egypt brings together some of the world’s leading baby experts to help you with information and practical tips you can trust to raise your children from the day they’re born till the age of three in the best possible way.

Why are the first four years important?

In the first 1,000 days, babies’ brains form new connections at an astounding rate: up to millions every single second – a pace never repeated again. With every hug and every kiss, with every nutritious meal and game you play, you’re helping to build your baby’s brain.
