A long-awaited child appears in the family. And often a young mother experiences constant anxiety - whether her baby is developing normally, compares his progress with his peers. Basically, these worries are groundless - it's just that all children are different.
Instructions
Step 1
Up to one month of age is the neonatal period. It is believed that a baby at this age should sleep 16-19 hours and eat about 10 times a day. In practice, the baby may be bothered by intestinal colic, and he will sleep less. In addition, the mother's lactation during this period is unstable, and the child may want to eat much more often.
Step 2
The baby begins to notice the world around him by the end of the first month. He fixes his gaze for a short time on a bright large rattle. Shudders at a sharp sound. Lying on his stomach, he can raise and hold his head for a short time. Sometimes the first smile appears.
Step 3
By the second month, the baby can track the object with his gaze. This is the time of the first "agu". When an adult appears in the field of view, the baby begins to express joy with a smile and sounds. Already quite confidently holding his head.
Step 4
At three months, the baby makes more varied sounds. Likes to look at objects and faces, listen to sounds, especially the sounds of a human voice. Some babies roll over from their backs onto their stomachs.
Step 5
At 4-5 months, the child tries to grab a toy and put it in his mouth. Laughter appears. Rolls over from belly to back. Sometimes babies can not roll over for a long time - up to 6-7 months. In the overwhelming majority of cases, this is not associated with any pathology, but depends on the individual pace of development, temperament and physique. Large, well-fed children are often less agile than their peers.
Step 6
At 6-7 months, the baby usually already knows how to sit and tries to crawl. Some babies may not sit down for a long time - up to eight months, causing anxiety to their mothers. And someone crawls badly and reluctantly, but they can go right away. On the contrary, guys who crawl dexterously and quickly are often in no hurry to walk.
Step 7
At 7-8 months, children begin to stand up near the support. Then, having gained confidence, they begin to step over their feet, holding on to the object. At 8-9 months, a child can perform simple tasks - throw balls into a bottle, blow a pipe. Responds to his own name. Copies the behavior of adults - for example, he coughs and grunts like a grandfather, or rubs the floor with a rag, like a mother.
Step 8
At 10-12 months, the baby begins to walk. But someone may prefer to crawl for up to a year and a half. Places the cubes one on top of the other. Sometimes the first conscious words appear.
