How does a child change up to a year. Child development by months: from birth to a year

Children are growing fast. A year ago, the baby was brought from the hospital, and he is already running around the house, showing curiosity, saying some words and starting to show character. All this year, mommy was worried about questions, but has my baby been developing correctly all this time? The development of children does not have to follow a pattern - each person is individual. There is no need to be afraid of minor deviations in development, the baby will definitely catch up on lost skills, you just need to wait a bit. The article reveals the features of the correct development of the child for months up to a year, which will help young parents understand such an exciting issue.

A healthy baby has developed hearing, vision, congenital reflexes are pronounced. He can find breasts by smell, and also swallows, blinks and even grabs, which is expressed from the first seconds of his life. Newborns cannot roll over, do not hold their heads, but when they are on their tummy, the instinct of self-preservation works perfectly for them - they turn their heads on their cheeks, as can be seen in numerous photographs of their parents.

1 month: meeting parents, adaptation

The first month is the period of adaptation of the baby to the new environment. If the newborn was born healthy, there are no reasons for concern, then most of the day he will sleep. The mode is simple: eat and sleep. In a short time of wakefulness, the newborn leads his eyes, randomly moves his arms, draws his legs in his knees. Children at this age react strongly to sharp sounds, which may cause them to cry.

Physical development:

gaining weight around 600-700 gr.;
sleeps 70% of the time;
shudders in sleep;
the grasping reflex is well developed, if the mother puts her finger in the palm of the crumbs, she will feel how the baby squeezes it tightly;
reflex sucking is observed;
even with closed eyes can find the breast nipple.

Psychomotor development:

10 days after birth, the newborn keeps a moving object in sight, sharp sounds make the baby shudder, an involuntary smile is observed;
after 18-30 days, the baby calms down when a voice or loud sound appears;
there are significant changes in development: focusing its attention on a moving object, the baby follows it with its eyes, turning its head;
smile becomes obvious;
tries to raise his head, lying on his stomach;
listening to the conversation of mom or dad, the baby answers with a grunt;
bring your fists up to your face.

During breastfeeding, there is no need to rush the baby: he must not only eat fully, but also enjoy the warmth of his mother.

2 months: I won’t confuse my mother with anyone

A two-month-old baby can be called a Master of Reincarnation. Looking at the photo of the first days of a baby’s life, you can see how amazingly his appearance has changed - it’s as if the baby has been replaced! He manifests himself as a social person, enjoys the presence of people close to him from birth, studies the surrounding space, opening his eyes wide, and small lips fold into a smile.

If in the first days of life the baby was completely inaudible, now he becomes noisy, loves to listen to the speech of adults, answering no longer with grunting, but with separate sounds.

A two-month-old baby becomes a great imitator - the changing facial expression of adults, the baby likes it and he has a desire to imitate.

From this month you need to communicate more with the baby. “Walking” of the baby is the first speech lessons that need to be developed. It is often necessary to change the position of the crumbs so that the body does not undergo deformation.

3rd month: let's "talk"!

A three-month-old baby changes every day. He noticeably grew up, got stronger, communicates with pleasure with people he knows. Other people's voices cause curiosity or fear in the crumbs. Waking up, the baby can lie in her bed for a long time, look at the toys surrounding her, bright diapers, a chandelier on the ceiling. A three-month-old child has many achievements: he coos and hums with himself.

The sense of smell of the crumbs became aggravated, feelings began to be expressed brightly. Crying baby means not only hunger, discomfort, but also pain in the tummy, fatigue.

During the waking period, you need to take the baby in your arms, kiss, hug, talk and walk. The correct development of the baby in this period will safely affect the further condition.

4 months: keep the head straight!

The little guy is getting funnier. His neck muscles have strengthened enough, and now he confidently holds his head in an upright position. Without outside help, he reaches the toy, shifts it. He likes to study objects up close and wants to taste them. The field of view expands, and he will not confuse his mother with anyone.

Crumbs on artificial feeding should be gradually accustomed to complementary foods. Breastfed babies need to introduce complementary foods early.

5th month: time to learn to crawl

The five-month-old toddler is getting more and more curious. He pays attention to all the objects around him, in addition, he tries to taste them. The baby perfectly holds the head, but still cannot fully sit, the back is not ready for this. The little one has interesting exercises: lying on his stomach, he raises his head high and stretches his arms to the sides, raises his legs. Another exercise called the “bridge” allows the baby to see what is happening in the background: lying on its back, the baby rests its head and legs on the surface, raising the torso.

At this time, the children stop squinting their eyes, but if they are still "running", then you need to inform the children's optometrist about this. With the help of special gymnastics, the problem can be eliminated.

At this age, children perfectly distinguish between people close to them and strangers - this is an important stage in development. The visual memory of a five-month-old child is well developed, but after a long absence of a family member, the child forgets him for a while.

Some babies learn to crawl by lying in a crib or sitting on their bum.

The child constantly requires communication and attention, reporting this with loud sounds, active movements. The baby studies toys for a long time, can consciously shake the rattle, shift it from hand to hand, throw it on the floor, attracting the attention of the mother. At this time, the first teeth begin to erupt in children. Against this background, they often act up.

staring at the TV screen.

The child is learning to crawl, so you need to think about his safety. You do not need to leave him alone on the bed, and if necessary, you can make barriers from pillows or a blanket. The main educational game is various boxes with lids, in which there will be something. The child likes to open the lids, take out and put things in the container.

6 months: sitting on their own

Baby's first little anniversary. From a calm lump, he turns into a restless creature who has no time to lie down, but needs to achieve new achievements, to please everyone around. The baby rolls beautifully from side to side, rises on his knees in the crib, crawls to the toy on his stomach.

The baby explores the world around him, crawling on all fours. Can stand on legs for a short time, holding on to the railing of the crib.

The lower incisors appear, but it also happens that the teeth do not erupt for up to a year. There is no need to worry about this, each person is individual.

The achievements of the crumbs are also manifested in speech, which becomes loud, long, clear. It must be remembered that a seven-month-old peanut imitates adults in everything, copies facial expressions, mood.

The baby is interested in everything, so he scoops out the contents from the cabinets and begins to explore them. It's time to introduce a system of prohibitions, but there should not be many of them, otherwise the child will get confused about what he can and cannot do.

Many mothers say that active guys manage to fall out of their crib. No wonder! The baby sits on its own, crawls, gets up and takes steps, holding onto a support, and if the mother is absent for a long time, then the baby begins to worry and shows the so-called miracles.

Informative video about the development of the baby

All moms are watching how a child develops by months from birth to a year , passing through the stages of physical and mental development, but remember that the development of a child up to a year is individual. There is no need to adjust the baby to the development plate, a discrepancy per month is quite acceptable.

Natalia Chalaya - the author's table of the development of a child under 1 year old by months

In the table, I will tell you in as much detail as possible, based on the accepted standards and my experience, how the child develops by months. I will break the tablet into 4 blocks, 3 months per block.

Photo of a child at 1 month

Child development from birth to 3 months

Baby development at 1 month

He will spend most of the first month in a dream, somewhere around 70% adapting to life outside his mother's tummy and gaining mass.
Weight gain will be 700 grams - 1 kg, but these are average figures. I saw children who gained 300-500 grams each. It depends on the weight with which your treasure was born. The lower the weight, the usually more its set, and vice versa - large babies gain less.
In the first month of life, the baby will stretch by 2-4 cm. A funny story happened regarding the growth of my Anechka in the maternity hospital. She was measured and 56 cm was written on the tag. At the first measurement in a month, it turned out that her height was 46 cm. Has she decreased by 10 cm, or is this how our doctors measure?
Since there is still no coordination of movements, and the nervous system is being intensively formed, in a dream your happiness either sleeps calmly, or randomly waves its arms and legs. Do not think that this is some kind of fear, or excessive nervousness. I advise you to swaddle the baby for the first month, so he will sleep much calmer.
From sharp sounds, he blinks and shudders with his whole body, which means that hearing is developed. It is more terrible when, on the contrary, there is no reaction to the sounds.
3 weeks after birth, you can check the fixation of the gaze. Bring a bright blue, red rattle to the face of the little one and wait until it attracts his attention, and then slowly take it aside. For a couple of seconds, the baby can already fix his attention on something interesting: a toy, a mother’s face
Closer to 4 weeks, you can notice that the baby laid out on the tummy is trying to raise and even hold the head for a couple of seconds. Pay attention to whether your child turns his head all the time to one side, this may be a sign of torticollis, which can be corrected with massage.
Palms clenched into a fist in a dream can be a sign of increased tone, but not by themselves, but in combination with other factors.

Development in 2 months

photo of baby at 2 months

There are less and less chaotic movements in a dream, sleepy palms gradually straighten from clenched into a fist.
Most of the time, the baby is still sleeping and eating. Breastfeeding takes a lot of strength from mom, and in order to quickly restore them
Firmly grabs everything that accidentally falls into the field of view: mother's hair, chains, earrings. Personally, the princess grabbed my earring so much that she tore my earlobe to the blood, of course, I instantly took off all the earrings and chains.
Hearing your voice, looks for the source of the sound.
He can see already at a distance of 40-50 cm, but so far he sees everything in black and white.
At 6-7 weeks, he consciously smiles when you pick him up, responds to the speech addressed to him with the first attempts to coo. You may be able to distinguish sounds such as: a, o, u, uh.
Your smile is answered with a smile and a burst of laughter. This happened to my daughter only at 3 months, so I repeat, all this is conditional. All 2 months she just slept and ate.
If he slept in a room with closed curtains, having received a portion of bright light, lying in the arena, he tries to turn his head away. Having lifted it from a lying position on the stomach, it is able to hold it for about 10 seconds. The same situation with holding the head in the position of the baby "column". However, do not rush things artificially, just remember that more frequent laying out on the stomach helps to strengthen the muscles of the cervical region as soon as possible.
By the end of the second month, especially developed babies can roll over onto their back from a lying position on their side.
Almost forgot. It is impossible to assess exactly how a child develops over the months without tracking changes in weight and height. Weight gain is usually 800 grams, but can reach up to 2 kg.
Height will increase by 3 cm.

Development in 3 months

photo of baby at 3 months

Weight gain ranges from 700g-1 kg, height changes by 2.5 cm.
The baby already needs the first toys - soft fabric cubes to grab and throw them. Can play with one toy for about 3 minutes. In your presence, a small tumbler will fit for games. It will cause delight and laughter at the sight of how the toy returns to its original position.
Binocular vision appears - the ability to perceive the object of attention simultaneously with two eyes at once.
The next stage in the development of a baby at 3 months is the development of convergence - the ability to fix both eyes on one toy.
The stage of looking at your hands begins.
The kid notices if you remove the toy - he looks for it with his eyes.
Different reactions to different music. Rhythmic music causes revival, and the classics listen.
Smiles become meaningful, the intonation of laughter changes.
He recognizes the faces of relatives, expresses emotions of joy at their sight.
An important stage in the development of the child by months is that he begins to distinguish colors. Some experts argue that at the initial stage it is only red, and after it other colors. Recent studies refute this, arguing that the child sees not only all colors, but even their shades.

Increased salivation before eruption of the first teeth.
Finally, the period of "gaziki" and colic is over. To avoid depletion of the body (especially in winter), mom needs to introduce new healthy foods into her diet. (to increase hemoglobin), rich in trace elements.
Lying on his back, straining his neck, briefly raises his head. Some babies even lift their upper back off the bed for a couple of seconds as they make their first attempts to sit up.
A "favorite" toy appears.
Delight expresses very emotionally, literally with the whole body.
If a child of 4 months is brought to the mirror, he will begin to flirt with his reflection.

Helpful tips on how to take care of your baby

Differences in the development of boys and girls

Pediatricians have long noticed that there are differences in the development of newborn babies of different sexes. And although each child is individual, there are some patterns. For example:

Boys are born larger than girls in height and weight. So, in full-term male newborns, the average height at birth is 53-56 cm, while in girls it is only 49-52 cm;

- speaking about children's norms of general physical and mental growth, it is noted that the development of boys is a little behind their peers already at the time of birth. But this difference is imperceptible, and is no more than 2-3 weeks;

- the fair sex is smaller at birth, but later the physical development of girls accelerates. The bone skeleton in them, on average, is formed earlier than in boys.

Table with norms of height and weight of children up to a year

With the help of the centile table, you can track the approximate norms of the monthly weight gain of the child, and how the increase in the length of the baby's body should occur. Children's heights and weights are given in terms of minimum/maximum values, so they can be used as a guideline.

Every baby is different and the development of a child depends on many factors. And yet, pediatricians highlight the age characteristics of an infant up to a year old. After all, the first year of life is very responsible, every month a child learns something new, learns the world. The development of a newborn is a world of discovery and joy for every parent.

Newborn

The first week of life is already rich in bright events. A newborn learns to recognize mom and dad by voice, responds to peculiar grimaces. The main activity at this age is sleep, it is necessary for children for full development. Rest takes the baby almost all the time, about 20 hours. A child wakes up only to eat or feel the presence of parents nearby.

The development of a newborn is rapid, every day he masters a new skill, but it may not yet be noticeable to a young mother. The muscles of the baby are not developed enough, they are still weak. This can be seen if you lift it up or put it in a sitting position, the head will begin to fall back. The handles also do not have a conscious action and move in a chaotic manner.

In the first month of life, it is necessary to monitor the baby's head, it must be supported.

A child is born with unconditioned reflexes, for example, trying to grab any object that falls into his hands. Soon they will disappear and new ones will appear to replace them.

In the first month of life, an average weight gain of 600 grams is considered optimal, growth should increase by 2-3 cm.

First month

The baby is already showing independence and can hold the head in a straight position for several minutes. The development of the baby continues at an active pace, he learns new things, learns to distinguish between parents, gets used to the environment in which he is, to the regime established by mom and dad.

The baby begins to react to the manifestations of sound, this is a reflex that is given to all children from birth. When bathing, the baby may respond to irritants; at uncomfortable water temperatures, he begins to cry. Muscles are still underdeveloped.

Pediatricians advise from 1 month of life to strengthen the muscles to carry out special gymnastics for the legs, arms and back. It is best to seek help from a specialist, this will help eliminate the tone that is present in almost all babies after birth.

The first month is important for the mother, as it determines the outcome of natural feeding. If the baby is accustomed to the breast, then, as a rule, the earliest weaning that can occur from it is six months. Weight gain on average 600 grams, height 2 cm.

Second month

This is the period of “revival”, when the baby begins to understand the emotional state of the mother, he reacts to her irritability or affection with the help of crying or the first smile. Sleep becomes shorter and no longer takes up 70% of the entire day, as it used to be. Now the period of wakefulness can be every hour, but with a small interval of 10-15 minutes.

The baby is holding its head tighter and is already trying to see its arms and legs. The optimal weight gain in a newborn during this period is 800 grams and an increase in height by 3 cm.

third month

The child development calendar highlights 4 main dates: 3 months, six months, 9 months, a year. The third month brings a lot of new things to the baby. He begins to hold his head on his own and, with the help of his parents in the elements of gymnastics, imitates a flip on his stomach and back, on his side. This gives the baby great pleasure, so he learns the world and communicates with his parents.

Mom and dad can hear the first sounds, the most frequent of which are "a", "o" and "u". The ability to recognize the source of sound and light develops. Children at this age can play with an adult with a rattle, pulling their hands to the subject. Height increases by 3 cm on average and body weight by 750 grams.

May respond to the pronunciation of his name, the sound of music, loud laughter or crying. The weight gain is about 700 grams, in height - 2-3 cm.

During this period, it is extremely important to develop the emotional sphere of the baby. It is necessary to show him grimaces, pictures, talk more with a variety of intonations.

Fifth month

Now with the baby you can fully play with toys that are typical for his age development. This period pleases parents with the first word, as a rule, it refers to mom or dad, grandmother.

The child is now quite able to play independently in a musical rug for sensory and tactile development, move objects and rattle rattles. The average duration of activity is 1 hour. The baby begins to sleep 2 times a day, in the morning and in the afternoon. Children begin to sit on their own and roll over on their back, side and stomach.

At this time, it is important to constantly communicate with the child, especially during a walk. This will encourage early speaking.

sixth month

Six months of age is distinguished by an important skill - crawling. Here it is not necessary to expect standard behavior from the child, all children master this skill in different ways at the initial stage. Someone crawls backwards, someone prefers to pull himself up only on his hands, and his legs lag behind. This will pass with time, your baby will crawl correctly and quickly.

At 6 months, it is worth carefully observing the baby, children begin to pull into their mouths all the objects that come across them on the way. This is a kind of knowledge of the surrounding world. In addition, teething makes itself felt. It usually starts at 4-5 months of age. A six-month-old child begins to pronounce the first consonant sounds, support him in this skill. You can read a fairy tale with him, consider the characters and study new types of animals.

seventh month

The development of a child by months speaks not only about his physical abilities, but also mental, about his state of health. So, if by the age of seven months the baby has already had the first teeth, we can conclude that the development and formation is correct in the future. By this time, children can sit up on their own, keeping their backs straight, and crawl in a plastunsky or on all fours.

It's time to develop fine motor skills of the hands. The child must master new objects, be able to hold them in his hand and knock against each other. Many babies can answer questions from adults, recognize a request and fulfill it.

From 6-7 months of age, complementary foods can be introduced, this is the ideal time for it, as babies begin to imitate adults in everything, including food addictions.

At 8 months, the child becomes more active and independent. He can move around the apartment with the help of crawling and learn about the world around him. Sleep is still divided into two: morning and lunch. Toddlers begin to move while standing, leaning on a side support, or the hands of their parents.

It's time for gymnastics and massage, which will help you master the complex process of walking.

ninth month

The baby can move along the wall or furniture in the house. He still studies all objects tactilely and orally, placing them in his mouth and trying "on the tooth". Kids are interested in everything and therefore they try not to miss anything and reach out to any subject that arouses interest.

The crumbs are constantly exploring space, they like to explore new and unknown. The doors of cabinets, chests of drawers begin to open, chairs move, etc.

Eleventh month

Each parent counts for months up to 1 year, how many new words the baby has learned, what he has mastered at each stage of life. Pediatricians advise not to apply the standard framework for each child, because all children grow and develop individually. You do not need to try on the baby under one measure, which can completely fluctuate depending on various factors. For example, even gender difference can play a role. It is believed that the development of a boy and a girl is slightly different, girls quickly master speaking and walking.

At 11 months, these differences can already be seen, there is one month left before the long-awaited date and parents are already starting to take stock. Yes, the baby should be able to walk with or without support, sit, pronounce light words: “mom”, “dad”, “give”, “on”, etc. But all this is so individual that you should not be upset and upset if the children by this time do not know how to do something. Someone develops more slowly by months up to 1 year, and then begins to get ahead of their peers. This is especially true in spoken language.

twelfth month

Most often, it is at the age of one that children master upright walking without support. This is an important stage in the life of the baby and his parents. He can learn and learn more about the world around him.

When parents are interested in what level the development of the child is by months up to 1 year, you should not forget about the individual characteristics of the crumbs. It is not necessary to force him to perform any actions if they do not fit into the generally accepted framework. No matter how old the baby is, the time will come and he will learn everything on his own or with your unobtrusive help.

Immediately after the birth of the baby, the baby's body begins to grow actively, the work of all systems stabilizes, new skills and abilities appear. The development of a child by months will not necessarily go according to a template, since there are no identical people and everyone has certain characteristics, so minor deviations from the standards should not scare you.

Baby development calendar from birth to 3 months

The first three months of the first year of a baby's life are considered the most difficult, because at this time the work of all body systems is only getting better, and the baby is adapting to the world around him.

To monitor the correct development of the child, you can use the table of basic skills and indicators for children in the first months of life:

from birth to 1 month the baby is very weak, so he spends most of his time in a dream. The muscles of the body are not yet developed, the baby cannot hold the head on its own, at the same time, the limbs are tucked in for a longer time and are in a springy state. The normal weight for a child of this age is from 2.5 to 4.5 kg, with a height of 45 to 54 cm. The development of the organs of vision and hearing will continue during the first 90 days, at first the child does not distinguish colors, and his loud sounds are not at all frighten, which characterizes poorly developed hearing;
from 1 to 2 months, external changes are clearly manifested - facial features are pronounced, swelling of the body disappears, the skin acquires a normal shade. Muscle tone passes, the child can already unbend his fists, briefly raises his head, actively swings his limbs. The development of conversational skills is manifested, the baby begins to coo and smile consciously. At this time, it is already possible to establish eye contact with the baby, he carefully examines everything around and already recognizes familiar faces, his eyes can still squint a little, but this will pass soon. Hearing development is very active, so beware of loud and harsh sounds - they can greatly frighten the baby;
from 2 to 3 months - the active stage, the ability to take toys and any objects of interest is manifested. The time of daytime sleep decreases, while night rest can be continuous for 5-6 hours. The baby strives to learn about the world around him, for which he tries to raise his head in a position on his stomach with his own strength, rests his legs to rise, etc. By 3 months, the growth of children reaches 53-62 cm, and the weight can be in the range from 4 to 7 kg.

The end of the first trimester of the year is marked by a relatively calm and systematic development of the baby's body. All systems begin to work without interruption, the mental state of the child is normalized, a certain mode of wakefulness and sleep is established, which allows the mother to plan the day.

Child development table from 3 months to six months

After 3 months, a period of relative calm begins, the child has already adapted to the environment, the feeding and sleeping regimen has already stabilized by this time, so family life is returning to normal.

The correctness of the development of the child at this stage can be traced according to the proposed table:

4 months - the baby himself holds his head and carefully monitors the movement of objects and people around the room. Now he can stand on legs with support under his arms. The period of teething begins, which may be accompanied by whims and crying, the main symptom is active salivation and the habit of pulling everything into the mouth. The communication skill is fully developed - the baby calls relatives with the help of sounds and gestures, examines faces for a long time and expresses pleasure with laughter and smiles;
5 months - the baby begins to sit (still with support, in the playpen, chair), during active games on the bed, the child himself turns over from his back to his stomach and back, some can rise in the playpen without outside help. The social factor is activated, the baby cannot be alone for a long time, he constantly requires communication, which he reports with active movements and loud sounds. The grasping reflex is fully developed, the baby confidently takes the object he likes, can shift it from hand to hand and throw it away;
half a year - muscle mass is activated, the child already owns his body, therefore he is able to rise, roll over, many begin to crawl. By six months, babies can grow up to 60-70 cm, while the body weight will be in the range from 5.5 to 9 kg. Teeth are actively cut, which causes a lot of anxiety, it is important at this stage to help the crumbs escape from pain with the help of rubber teethers and gels.

The first half of the year is marked by the emergence of such an important skill as crawling, now the baby can engage in active games without your participation, the main thing is to provide the child in the apartment with a safe area for research.

Child development calendar from six months to 9 months

The period after the first half of the year of life is distinguished by the activity of the child, now, when the baby already knows how to crawl, it is interesting for him to study and touch everything that he sees around. Particular attention should now be paid to the psychological development of the baby.

7 months - active crawling becomes a habit, the baby enjoys spending time on a children's rug with soft toys, likes to walk on the street, where he examines everything with interest. Now the baby accurately recognizes native faces and voices, distinguishes his name and remembers some objects by name. At this time, the first complementary foods are introduced;
8 months - a tweezer grip appears - the baby can take objects not with the whole palm, but with two fingers. The diet is expanding, while the increase in height and body weight slows down somewhat, instead communication and conversation skills are actively developing;
9 months - the most developed babies begin to get up, holding on to a sofa or chair, you can see the first steps, however, so far with support. This is the time for the first conscious word, "ma-ma, ba-ba etc."

The third trimester of the year shows how socially adjusted your baby will be. The desire to learn about the world around and communicate with relatives in each child manifests itself in its own way, some children spend a lot of time learning new things on their own, while others cannot be alone even for a couple of minutes. Adjust to your baby, then his development will be more successful and faster.

Child development calendar from 9 months to a year

The last trimester of the first year is the most active stage in the development of the child's body. This is the time to take the first steps, to express your interests and demands, as well as to define the scope of what is permitted and forbidden.

10 months - crawling can be accompanied by overcoming obstacles, children try to climb over soft rollers, chairs, go down stairs for the first time. The first steps will be uncertain, but the baby will not stop trying to walk, so you should protect the room from sharp corners and dangerous objects;
11 months - the diet includes vegetables, dairy products, cereals, fruits and meat, all these components are necessary for the full development of the body and replenish the energy that the child spends during the day. With the first introduction of complementary foods, you need to start brushing your teeth, this will prevent the development of caries;
1 year - the child knows what is possible and impossible, remembers where the objects of interest to him are and understands almost everything that you tell him. The character of the baby is manifested - he often protests against activities that are objectionable to him, it is important at this time to teach him how to express protests correctly - not with screams, but with the help of communication.

The monthly child development calendar shows how the child's body should develop in the first year and what skills can appear at a certain time. Knowing the standards, you can help your child develop new skills that are specific to his age.
