Developmental Milestone
• A key skill used to check a child’s progress• Not all children meet them at the same time• An overall guideline• Sickness, lack of stimulating environment,
malnutrition• Examples: Learning to walk, rolling over, saying
their first words

Influences on Growth and Development• Babies experience a tremendous amount of
growth and development in their first year.• Growth refers to physical size.• Development refers to physical, emotional, social,
or intellectual skills.

Influences on Growth and Development• The four major influences include:
• heredity• nutrition• health• environment
How do you think the environment can influence growth and development?
Stimulating Environment! Makes brain connections!

• During the first year, babies typically triple their birth weight.
• Weight gain is a strong sign of good health.
• Proportion: The size
relationship between
different parts of the
body

• Physical development follows three patterns:• head to foot• near to far• simple to complex
• Babies’ perception of the world increases using vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste.

Head to Toe Development
• What does this mean?• The head takes the lead in development.• Babies first gain control of their head movement• Their sight, hearing, taste, and smell develop
more quickly than arms, legs, feet, etc

• Speech develops with growth of the throat muscles, tongue, lips, teeth, and vocal cords.
• Babies are born with some automatic reflexes.

Babies Learn Through Their Senses -Vision• Newborns have very blurry vision• At one week they can focus on object 7 – 10
inches away and can follow object moved across their face
• By one month babies can focus on objects 3 feet away
• At two months, they demonstrate depth perception– Depth Perception: Perceive objects as 3-D
• By six months their eyesight is at an adult level
Glencoe The Developing Child Chapter 7 Physical Development of Infants

12
Hearing
• Babies can hear, even before birth• A full-term baby can already tell the general
direction that a sound comes from• Newborns respond to the tone of a voice• Soothing, loving voices are calming to newborns• At seven months, babies can recognize their
caregivers voices• This is how they learn to talk
Glencoe The Developing Child Chapter 7 Physical Development of Infants

13
Touch
• Newborns last brain development and movement skills in order to explore their world through touch
• They rely on the touch of others to teach them about their environment
• Touch builds trust

14
Smell and Taste
• Smell does not develop until after birth• Within 10 days, they can distinguish their mother’s
smell from others• Taste develops rapidly• They can distinguish the difference between
water, sour liquids, sugar solutions, salt, and milk.• Babies put everything in their mouth to explore the
world.• Make sure objects are safe and clean!

15
Reflexes• An instinctive, automatic response, such as grasping or sucking• The Sucking Reflex: stimulated when something is put in a baby’s
mouth and allows a newborn to feed from the mother’s breast or bottle• The Rooting Reflex: This happens when the baby’s cheek is stroked
and they turn to that side• Moro Reflex: Causes baby to throw the arms back when suddenly
released• Other Automatic Reflexes: Shutting the eyes under bright lights,
grabbing a finger when placed in hand, stepping motions.

16
Fine and Gross Motor Skills• Gross Motor Skills: A skill that involves the large
muscles of the body• Examples: Hula hooping, playing soccer,
swimming• Fine Motor Skills: Involves smaller muscles of the
body such as those in the fingers• Examples: Picking up pieces of cereal, using
scissors, cutting paper• Hand-eye coordination: Eat and catching a ball

face up in the bed to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
• Check a crying baby for wetness, hunger, cold, or pain.
• Never shake or jiggle a baby.

hours)• 3 Months sleep 14 to 15 hours a day • 4 Months sleep 12 to 14 hours a day (taking naps
midmorning and late afternoon)• 6 Months sleep 12 to 14 (sleep about six naps at night)• 1 year olds sleep 12 hours a day (9-10 hours at night)

Shaken Baby Syndrome
• 100% Preventable• Usually happens because of frustration• It is OKAY to put your baby down in a safe place
and walk away

Feeding an Infant
• During the first six months, nutrient needs can be met with formula or breast milk.
• Feed newborns as often as they want to eat. Overfeeding is not a problem.
• Babies must be burped after feeding.
• Some babies have food allergies.
Glencoe The Developing Child Chapter 7 Physical Development of Infants

36
Burping an Infant
• Infants usually need to be burped twice during a feeding
• Babies can be burped in many positions• Protect your clothing• Babies do not always burp each time
Glencoe The Developing Child Chapter 7 Physical Development of Infants
Chapter 7 Physical Development of Infants
37
Breast Milk vs. Formula
• Breast Milk• Contains all the nutrients a baby needs• Contains antibodies to fight off germs
– Antibodies are a substance produced by the body that boost’s a baby’s defenses against infection
• Has colostrum– The first breast milk, rich in antibodies and nutrients
• Germ-free and easy to digest• Breast-fed babies get fewer ear infections• Not all mother’s are able to do this• Takes practice and patience
Glencoe The Developing Child Chapter 7 Physical Development of Infants
Chapter 7 Physical Development of Infants
38
Breast Milk vs. Formula
• Formula• Most often milk-based• Can cause digestive problems• Everyone is able to use this method• Comes in three forms: a concentrated liquid that is
mixed with water, powder that is mixed with water, and ready to use
• Does not contain antibodies

39
Weaning
• Changing from drinking from the bottle tor breast to a cup
• By the age of four to six months babies have usually had solid food for the first time
• Weaning needs to happen gradually
Glencoe The Developing Child Chapter 7 Physical Development of Infants

Nutrition for Babies
• Babies need:• Enough calories to provide activity and rapid
growth• Foods that provide key nutrients, such as
vitamins and minerals• Adequate amounts of liquid
• Malnutrition: Inadequate nutrition that can cause poor brain development

Dressing a Baby
• Babies are sensitive to overheating.• Comfort and ease in dressing are important when
choosing baby’s clothing.• Dressing and undressing a baby quickly and easily
takes practice.
Why is it important to be able to dress a baby quickly?

• A baby’s diaper must be changed several times a day.
• Caregivers can choose between cloth diapers and disposable diapers.
• A home with a baby should have a designated diaper-changing area.

Health Care• Babies and infants should have regular medical
checkups.• Immunizations are an important way to protect
children against certain diseases.• Vaccines can be given to protect from disease.
