Baby brain is the mental fog and forgetfulness that many people experience during pregnancy or early parenthood—forgetting appointments, losing track of conversations, struggling to concentrate.
The term acknowledges that sleep deprivation and hormonal changes can temporarily impair cognitive function: Sorry, total baby brain—I left my phone in the fridge.
