At what stage will the newborn start remembering things?

The ultimatebabyguide.com expert psychologists view:
Even in the initial two months, a baby has the potential to recognize familiar voices and faces and the breast fed babies recognize their mothers immediately after a week of their birth. During the first year, the baby's recognition memory will improve dramatically. When the baby is nine months, the baby will respond positively to specific kind of information such as the toys, shoes, etc proving that they have a recall memory, but all this is short term memory. Long term memory won't develop until the baby is somewhere around 14 to 18 months old.

When should I allow my baby to play with other kids in the neighborhood?

The ultimatebabyguide.com expert answers (from the ultimatebabyguide editorial team):
Basically all the babies have a fascination towards other babies and they'll explore each other just like a toy as stated by Victoria Youcha of the Zero of three NGO which is devoted to healthy toddler and infant development. But most of the child development experts have reversed this opinion and they do not recommend as this kind of exploration could be amusing as well as annoying as the same is accompanied with tearful moments rather than the happy ones.
It has been observed that the children between one and two years engage in parallel gaming by playing side by side rather than interacting with each other. Until 3 years, you should not expect your baby to learn the concept of sharing and understanding and therefore you will have to constantly instruct them for that. Between the age group of 2 to 3, playing one on one will be better than larger groups so as to avoid unhappy moments.
