Child development
Every mother carefully monitors the development of her child after weeks and months. He is interested in whether the child at 1 month, 2, 6 months or 1 year can do what the tables prescribe, or is slightly behind in something. This is a natural phenomenon, every small progress is a success. After 9 months of pregnancy, it's amazing to watch a little human reaching developmental milestones at the set age. Psychomotor development must, of course, be monitored, but it must not be forgotten that each child is individual and may progress in one phase of development, while in another they may lag slightly behind, or begin to develop later. Some characteristics are typical for a child of a certain age, but they may not be defining. What should a child be able to do in 4 weeks, 6 or 18 months? When does the baby start to "herd horses", when should the second uprighting occur, and when should the child stand up and take the first steps?
However, a 12-month-old baby is already a child whose development will progress from week to week. Active sitting, chattering, first words and first steps on two legs. It improves what has been learned so far.
Towards the 1-year milestone, parents can expect significant progress in their 11-month-old baby. The child has a need to crawl everywhere, begins to recognize parts of his body and imitate certain actions.
If the child learned something a month ago and it was new, in the 10th month it will be a level better. The child will improve in everything he knows so far.
From the 9th month, children are more communicative, more playful and less afraid of other adults. However, separation anxiety may still be present. The child more actively understands the purpose of objects.
An 8-month-old child is already walking on all fours and has no problem getting from place to place. If you've always thought that your child is restless, he'll be crawling everywhere on all fours, and a pair of extra eyes will definitely come in handy.
Progress in the baby's movements is characteristic for the 7th month. The child is more socially active, the first teeth are usually already visible and the child also responds to calling his name. What else can he do?
Although each month in a baby's development is often referred to as a "turning point", this is definitely true in the case of the 6th month. Although he still has the status of an infant, a 6-month-old child is already a receptive and understanding member of the family.
At 5 months, a baby becomes a child who actively seeks company and responds to all stimuli. What should a 5-month-old baby know or what should he be able to do and does he really need to be able to sit?
Over the course of 16 weeks, the baby has grown and has an even greater desire to follow everything that is happening around him. His effort is to communicate more, mumbling replaces lively chatter and active laughter.
A 3-month-old baby is already beginning to show its will, interacts with the environment more intensively, stays awake longer, and significant changes also occur in the infant's psychomotor development. What can he do?
At 2 months old, there are other developments that define the baby. Sleeping habits and behavior will change and the little one's communication tools will be enriched. What should a 2-month-old baby know?
Your newborn will be a new human every week, and all his progress will be happening right before your eyes. How does a baby perceive its mother and what can a 1-month-old baby do?
