Early language training boosts IQ

The pace at which a baby’s neural network is built is truly mind boggling. In utero, brains build 250,000 neurons a minute to result in about 100 billion by the time the baby is born.

To work efficiently, the brain needs to be able to adapt, to learn new things, to forget old things. Fortunately, it can be molded and shaped, and because of this plasticity, the brain can adapt to its environment, learning things it needs to and not spending resources on things that are irrelevant.

Would the baby be confused? Of course not. Look at babies in multilingual regions like Singapore, Switzerland and Scandinavia. They don't get confused. They grow up highly gifted in languages.
