What should a month-old baby know - Glamius
A baby has appeared in the family. The first month from birth is perhaps the most difficult, both for the child himself and for his parents. The kid learns to live in a new environment for him, and parents learn to look after him.
During this period the child develops very actively, literally every day you can notice something new. By the end of the first month, the baby knows something. It will not be long before he starts making different sounds, smiling, recognizing his mother. And my mother will start to think about what a month-old child should be able to do.
Physical development
Height and weight. For the first month the child grows by three to four centimeters and adds up to a kilogram of weight.
Reflexes. Great importance in the life of the child is now played by reflexes. Did you know, for example, that the baby already knows how to walk? If the child to take the armpits, so that his legs are on the floor, then he will step over, as if walking. If at the time when the baby lies on his stomach, put his hands on the heels of the child, he will push off, as if to crawl. Touching the lips of the baby with your finger, you will call a sucking reflex. And if you touch the index finger to the palm of your child, he will quickly squeeze your finger and will hold on tight enough to it.
Vision of the child in a month
Vision. The sight of the baby is halfway through its development. In one month it is still inferior. The Kid can clearly see objects located far away, on close objects, it is not yet able to focus the vision. If in the first days of life the movements of the eyeballs were spontaneous, abrupt, then a little later the brain of the child already controls the movements of the eyes. Not for long, but the child can fix his eyes on the subject of interest. Usually it is a fixed object, which is located at a distance of half a meter from the child. Especially like the kid now bright objects.
Do not be scared if you notice that the baby is gazing with his eyes, he is just trying to focus his eyes, and until it is not very successful. Approximately in three-four months it will pass. Many kids like to watch TV.They distinguish between changing frames, even the so-called twenty-fifth frame. Try to turn off the TV if you notice that the child is watching it, or distract the child so that he does not stare at the screen, so you exclude the harm that can be done to your child. The fact is that when viewing the
the infant's motor activity in one month The motor activity. As for the movements, your kid becomes more active. Yes, he still sleeps a lot, however, during wakefulness one can observe chaotic movements of the limbs - this is an important moment in the development of the child. But, it should be noted that coordination is still immature. The TV has a load on the eyes, which can not yet be tolerated by the child, strabismus may develop. Pediatricians do not advise a monthly baby to watch TV.
Muscle development. If you take the kid by the handles and pull his arms up, he will pull his head forward, and not throw it back. And if the child is turned over and put on the tummy, he will be able to raise his head, if at the beginning of the month very little, then by the end of the first month he will be able to keep it almost vertically.
Mental development
Speaking. Already from the first days of life the kid needs communication, at the moment of wakefulness he wants to be engaged. It would seem that speaking does not refer to what a month-old child should be able to do, but by the end of the first month of life, you will most likely see the first smile of your baby, and you will hear the first sounds different from crying. Some babies start "agukat" a month already, especially if they show how this is done. If you talk with a child, he will respond with a long and gentle "aga".
The kid does not just cry, his crying becomes emotional. By the nature of crying you can already determine what the baby wants, than he is unhappy. Sometimes he demands to eat, informs that it is necessary to change a diaper, that he wants to handle or is simply tired.
Imitation and socialization per month Imitation and socialization. Some babies already in the first days after birth can imitate the mimicry of adults, for example, stick out the tongue, smile, open the mouth.
In a month the child begins to listen, turns his head to the sound. If the child is excited, then he calm down when he heard a measured quiet conversation. He is already trembling with a loud or sharp sound, he can cry.
Habits. The baby begins to respond to the feeding situation. For example, when you take it in your arms, and it will take the pose of feeding, when he sees the bottle with the mixture, or when it will be at the chest. Then you will notice how the child turns toward the food, opens the mouth and makes sucking movements with the lips and tongue.
Your child in one month can be able to do all of the above or even more. But he may not be able to do some things. Parents should not be upset, your child will not be lying lifeless forever in bed, he must learn everything, only when his time comes.
