We offer you a short overview about the development of a child up to a year. The first month of life, the most difficult in terms of adjusting a young mother and baby to each other, will be considered in more detail - by months.

The first month of a child's life

Due to the adaptation to a new life, the first month of a newborn is the most difficult for both the baby and the mother. The newborn spends about 70% in a state of sleep. In a dream, it grows (in a month it can grow by 2-3 cm), and it is easier to endure the period of getting used to new living conditions. During wakefulness, the child makes unconscious swings with his arms and legs, which are still in good shape. Therefore, the handles are squeezed into the cam, and the legs are tucked in at the knees.
Nutrition is a vital aspect. Breastfeeding is preferable, during which an emotional bond is formed between mother and child. During the first month of life, the baby gains about 600-700 grams in weight.
By the end of the first month of life, the newborn:

Listens to extraneous noises and conversations.
Looks at bright toys and faces of others.
Recognizes mom's voice and smell.
Expresses emotions by crying.

A baby is born with a certain set of reflexes, which fade away after a few months:

Sucking. When touching the lips or cheek, the baby will open his mouth and move his tongue as if sucking.
Swimming. If you support the child with a dip in the water, he will try to swim.
Prehensile. If you touch the baby's palm, he will squeeze the handle into a fist.

Table of the norm of growth and weight of children from 1 to 12 months

All the moms are tracking how the child develops by months from birth to one year , going 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, the discrepancy per month is quite acceptable.

Natalya Chalaya - author's table of child development up to 1 year by month

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 plate into 4 blocks, 3 months per block.

Child development from birth to 3 months

Baby development at 1 month

He will spend most of the first month in a dream, somewhere 70% adapting to life outside his mother's tummy and gaining weight.
Weight gain will be 700 grams - 1 kg, but these are average figures. I saw children who were gaining 300-500 grams each. It depends on the weight with which your treasure was born. The lower the weight, the more it is usually set, and vice versa - large babies gain less.
In the first month of life, the baby will stretch 2-4 cm. A funny story happened regarding the growth of my Anya in the maternity hospital. They measured her and wrote 56 cm on the tag. At the first measurement in a month, it turned out that her height was 46 cm. Decreased by 10 cm, or is this how our doctors take measurements?
Since there is still no coordination of movements, and the nervous system is intensively forming, in a dream, your happiness either sleeps peacefully, then randomly waves its arms and legs. Do not think that this is some kind of fright, or excessive nervousness. I advise you to swaddle your baby for the first month, so he will sleep much more calmly.
From harsh sounds, he blinks and shudders with his whole body, which means that his hearing is developed. It is more terrible when, on the contrary, there is no reaction to sounds.
The fixation of the gaze can be checked 3 weeks after birth. Bring a bright blue, red rattle to the toddler's face and wait until it attracts his attention, and then slowly move 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 see 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 to one side all the time, this could 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 a baby in 2 months

Chaotic movements in a dream are less and less, 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 energy from the mother, and in order to quickly restore them
Everything that accidentally falls into the field of visibility is firmly grabbed: mother's hair, chains, earrings. Personally, the princess grabbed me by the earring so that she tore my earlobe to blood, naturally I instantly took off all the earrings and chains.
Upon hearing your voice, it searches 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 at humming. You may be able to distinguish sounds such as: a, o, y, eh.
He responds to your smile with a smile and a bursting laugh. For my daughter, this happened only when she was 3 months old, 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 raised it from a prone position on its stomach, it is able to hold it for about 10 seconds. The same situation is with keeping the head in the position of the baby "in a column". However, you should not rush things artificially, just remember that more frequent laying on the stomach helps to strengthen the muscles of the cervical spine as soon as possible.
Especially developed babies, by the end of the second month, from a lying position on their side, can roll over onto their backs.
I almost forgot. It is impossible to assess exactly how a child is developing by month without tracking changes in weight and height. Weight gain is usually 800 grams, but can reach 2 kg.
Growth will increase by 3 cm.

Development in 3 months

photo of a baby in 3 months

Weight gain ranges from 700 g-1 kg, height changes by 2, 5 cm.
The kid already needs the first toys - soft tissue cubes to grab and throw. It can play about 3 minutes with one toy. In your presence, a small tumbler will fit for games. She will cause delight and laughter at the sight of the toy returning to its original position.
Binocular vision appears - the ability to perceive an 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 pens begins.
The kid notices if you put the toy away - he looks for it with his eyes.
There are different reactions to different music. Rhythmic music evokes animation, and classics - listening.
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 a 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, claiming that the child sees not only all colors, but even their shades.

Further, our plate, the development of the child by months up to 1 year, moves to the stage of 4-6 months

This period of development of the child by months will allow you to track the skills that the baby acquires, starting from attempts at coups, to the appearance of the first babble and teeth.

Taking the child in your arms, you will notice that he not only confidently holds his head, but also turns it in different directions, accurately identifying the source of light and sound.

Increased salivation before the eruption of the first teeth.
Finally, the period of "gaziks" and colic is over. In order 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 children even lift their upper back from the bed for a couple of seconds, making their first attempts to sit down.
The "favorite" toy appears.
Delight expresses very emotionally, literally with the whole body.
If a child of 4 months is brought to a mirror, he will begin to flirt with his reflection.

So our table of child development by months up to 1 year has ended. After reading the entire table about the development of the baby by months from birth to a year, you realize how fast everything happens. This is comparable only to the fact that a paralyzed adult with a sufficiently low intelligence in just a year of his life will not only begin to move fully, but will also become a Nobel laureate in nuclear physics.

Infancy is considered a difficult period. There is a table of child development, where it is prescribed from what time you need to wait for certain signs of development.

The baby is considered a newborn during the first 40 days after birth. Table of average parametric values \u200b\u200bin the first month and up to 40 days after birth.

The baby sleeps about 20 hours a day for up to 40 days. When the baby sleeps, his legs are pressed against the tummy.

In the first weeks, the child has innate reflexes necessary for further development.

A one-month-old baby already reacts to sound and bright light. He manages to fix his attention on a bright object only after the third week. By the end of the 4th week, the one-month-old baby can not only hold the head, but also turn it.

In the first days after discharge, mothers are often worried about the time until when the children are swaddled. Usually children are swaddled up to 40 days old. It is believed that at this time they have little control over their movements and wake themselves up during sleep. After 40 days, only the legs are swaddled.

Second month of baby development

By the 40th day after birth, the baby begins to examine the toys, follows their movement. At two months, he can already distinguish night from day. During the day, the child begins to stay awake for more time.

A baby at two months old, if put on its side, will be able to turn on its back. When the mother talks to the child, he begins to smile in response.

Games should be focused on developing attention. You can arrange a small puppet show. Put a toy that squeaks into the arms of the baby, hang the toys over the crib so that his arms and legs can reach them.

Features of the third month of life

When someone talks, the child frowns if the voice is stern and begins to smile if the intonation is affectionate. When they start talking to him, he happily utters sounds, waves his arms and legs (animation complex). If you hold it by the handles, it tries to put the legs on the surface. Likes to sit on the hands of adults, while he must hold his head.

The revitalization complex in children under one year of age arises in response not only to mother's smile, but also at the sight of a toy, the sounds of your favorite music, after a meal. By the end of this period, he can already rub his eyes with his pens, examine his fingers.

It is believed that at this age, you can put the child on its feet. If the children are in a good mood, or they are talking to the child, then he begins to walk.

They conduct classes on a large ball (you can roll it in different directions), you can lay out toys in front of the baby so that the child shows a desire to reach for them, you can put on bright socks or hang bells on his arms and legs.

Features of the fourth month of life

At four months after birth, two daytime naps are established. The daily routine includes about 6 feedings. The child's first attempts to sit independently appear. By the end of the month, he is able to sit with support. When the baby is held by the handles, he can confidently put his legs, step over them. Begins to learn to roll over from back to tummy.

During the game, he examines and feels toys. A child at four months old begins to distinguish the colors and shapes of objects. Classes with the baby can be carried out using musical toys. We offer paper that can be torn or kneaded (fine motor development).

Fifth month of life

The baby should grab the toys that hang over the crib, roll over on his own from his back onto his tummy, and show a desire to sit. When he is held by the handles, he confidently begins to put his legs.

Classes are aimed at developing motor skills (you can give balls with different surfaces), children like hide-and-seek games ("peek-a-boo"), do not forget about massage and rhymes.

Features of the sixth month of a child's life

The kid should pronounce syllables clearly. At this age, he is better at sitting, but still with support. The child can play for a long time - he is interested in toys. Favorite toys and books appear. Developmental activities can include games for opening and closing objects, palms, toys with pressing any buttons.

Features of the seventh month of life

Leaning on palms and knees, children begin to crawl well. But not all children go through this stage of development, some immediately begin to walk. They can calmly turn from back to tummy and back.

Loves hide-and-seek games, when they ask the question "Where?", The kid directs his gaze towards the found object. A 7 month old baby should be able to grip toys in any position. Can transfer a toy from one hand to another.

Classes include playing with musical instruments (drum, hammer), playing with rump, books, cubes will attract the attention.

The kid repeats the learned movements after the adults, knows how to sit without support, he sits down, gets up, holding on to the support, walks along the side.

Activities include games: collecting a pyramid, folding cubes, the child is able to perform reverse and direct actions. Favorite games can be "Ladushki", hide and seek, picking up nesting dolls. A child can sit alone for a long time, playing with toys. To the question "Where?" the child shows with a finger.

By this time, the baby is so attached to his mother that it is difficult for him to experience a short separation from her, especially if he is breastfed.

Ninth month of life

The child distinguishes himself, knows his name and responds to it, performs various actions with objects, can drink from a mug. The walking skill is being improved, while still with support.

When there is no object on the way to hold onto, the baby starts crawling.

10 month baby development

At 10 months, the baby should be able to repeat movements, sounds, syllables after an adult. At this time, he manages to firmly put his feet on the floor, he can take several steps. It is believed that it is impossible to put children on their legs up to 10 months, since their spine is not fully formed.

Fine motor skills develop at 10 months - the baby can hold objects with two fingers. He collects toys in a box, takes them out, learns to assemble the pyramid correctly.

Eleventh month of life

Words-designations appear in speech (av-av is a dog, bi-bi is a car), the baby can show how to lay the doll, finds eyes, a nose in the proposed image, and begins to walk independently. He still does not always succeed in putting his feet correctly, so he often falls.

The first doll games appear. All your emotions are lived on her image. Children 10-11 months old in a picture in a book easily find familiar images and designate them with a word (doll - lyalya, duck - ha-ha). Recognize themselves in photographs.

Twelfth month

The baby's vocabulary expands to 10 words, he sits independently, walks, gets up, and must be able to follow simple instructions.

There is such a thing as a crisis of children of the first year of life or a crisis of independence.

A one-year crisis has the following symptoms:

behavior worsens: stubbornness, persistence, disobedience appear;
behavior is characterized by the emergence of new ways of solving a particular situation;
behavior with contradictions (asks for one thing, in the end he needs another).

At what age skills begin to appear in children under one year old, the table will help to understand.

Age, months	Major achievement
1	Lying on your stomach, raising your chin
2	Lying on your stomach, raises your chest
3	Trying to grab a toy
4	Begins to sit with help
5	Likes to sit, grabs objects
6	Can sit at his chair
7	Sits down by himself
8	Stands with help
9	Stands, holding on to the support
10	Creeps well
11	Walks with help
12	First steps

No less important is the speech development of children under one year old. The table shows the features of its development by months.

Important questions about one year old

A breastfed baby gains weight more slowly than a bottlefed baby. On average, the difference will be about 400 grams.

The table clearly shows how weight and height gain occurs in children under one year old.

Age, months	Height gain, cm	Weight gain, g
1	3-4	700
2	3,5	800
3	2-3	850
4	2-3	800
5	2-3	750
6	2-3	650
7	2-3	600
8	2-3	500
9	1-2	450
10	1-2	400
11	1-2	350
12	1-2	300

A feature is that the child is gaining in height and weight not slowly, but in leaps and bounds. These periods cause changes in the emotional sphere of the baby, and his behavior also changes. He becomes capricious, constantly asks for pens. Problems are associated with the fact that as they grow, muscles and ligaments begin to stretch, and this causes discomfort to the child.

The crisis associated with a jump in height and weight falls on the following periods of a child's development up to a year:

end of the 3rd week;
6-8 weeks;
end of 3rd, 6th and 9th months.

Sometimes parents experience difficulties in raising and caring for a baby. It is especially difficult for those whose children are breastfed. A nanny for an infant will help to care for and eliminate problems that arise in the first months.

The duties of a nanny include looking after the baby when there are no parents nearby, going to the clinic, walking on the street, preparing food, keeping the child's body clean.

If the baby is breastfed, there may be problems with a lack of milk. Lactation crisis in the first months of breastfeeding occurs in all women. Most often, a breastfeeding crisis occurs at 3 weeks, at 6 weeks, at 3, 6 and 12 months. Lasts 3 to 7 days.

Signs that determine the breastfeeding crisis: the baby's behavior becomes nervous, he cries and is capricious near the breast, there is no feeling of fullness in the breast.

Breastfeeding problems of this kind are most often associated with the fact that when the baby grows, he needs more nutrients. A woman's body needs several days (maximum a week) for milk to begin to be produced in sufficient quantities.

Clothing parameters

To figure out what sizes of clothes for children, the table will help.

The sizes of tights for children are selected in accordance with the height of the child. To figure out what sizes of tights you need to select, the following table will help.

56-62	8
62-68	9
68-74	9-10
74-80	11-12 cm
80-86	12-13

Sizes for caps are removed from the head as follows: a centimeter tape is located along the eyebrows, above the ears and along the back of the head.

The table will clearly help you figure out what sizes of hats are suitable for a particular month of children's development.

In this article:

The first year is the most important stage in the life of every child. The kid grows, develops, gets acquainted with the world around him, acquires the necessary skills.

In order for parents to be sure that their child grows and develops in accordance with age, they must know how the development of the newborn should take place by months in a normal way. This is what will be discussed in the article.

1 month

The infant spends a significant part of its time in a dream during the first week of its life. Thus, there is an adaptation to new living conditions. Beginning from the second week, the periods of wakefulness are lengthened.

By the end of the first month, the baby is already focusing its gaze on a bright toy, listening to conversations and trying to pronounce the first sounds. Distinguishes the mother's voice: upon hearing my mother's speech, she is glad that it is manifested by active movements of her legs and arms.

2 month

The baby already holds his head relatively well, and while lying on his tummy, he rests on his forearms. He smiles radiantly at adults, turns his head at the sound, trying to find its source with his eyes.

In the development of speech, the pre-verbal period or the period of "humming" begins, when the baby begins to make the sounds "agu", "abu" or "wa".

3 months

A kid at this age not only confidently holds his head, but also easily turns from back to side and vice versa.

The speech development of a 6-month-old child continues: the first imitations of the type "av-av", "b-bi", etc. appear. The kid already catches the cause-and-effect relationship: he pushed the object away - he fell, pressed the button - music began to sound, etc.

By screaming and crying, he expresses his indignation, achieves what he wants, manipulates adults. Begins to show independence in the process of eating and dressing. The baby's speech continues to develop, but his first words are still understandable only to parents.

10 months

The child continues to learn about the world: he listens to sounds, looks closely at objects and people, tries to imitate their intonation and actions. He walks confidently, holding on to the support, sometimes lets go of the support and moves away from it a few steps.

In his speech, 10-15 words appeared, however, he pronounces them, distorting, but family members understand him perfectly.

As you can see, the development of a newborn child in the first year of his life occurs rapidly. It seems that quite recently it was a tiny helpless baby, and now it has become a completely independent human with its own desires and needs.

Do not be upset if the development of your baby by months does not coincide much with generally accepted norms. He will definitely make up for lost time, and the main task of parents is to help him in this.

Useful video about newborn babies

So, a happy event in your family is the birth of a child. From now on, he has a long way to go from a tiny lump to an almost conscious one-year-old baby. No matter how fast he develops, in the first 12 months he will learn a lot and will never learn everything at such a speed again. (the baby learns to observe others, smile, gag, roll over, sit on the priest, walk, play and much, much more ...)... It is not always clear to young mothers whether the crumbs have developmental problems or, on the contrary, are ahead of schedule. Purpose of the article - tell what changes are happening to your child in each of the 12 months of his first year, what the baby learns in the first year of his life and how he perceives the world around him.

Each baby, just like an adult, is individual and each child develops individually, but something common in the development of newborn children is the same.

Monthly development calendar

The first month

A difficult month for young mothers. The first month of a newborn's life is called the adaptation period. He sleeps almost 70% of the time. Sleep is very important for a baby. In a dream, he grows ( on average, in the first month, the child grows by 2-3 cm.), and the body gets used to the new environment. During wakefulness, he chaotically waves his arms clenched into fists and legs bent at the knee. Towards the end of the first month, the child is already able to hold his head for a short time, focus his gaze on bright toys, the faces of adults, emit vowel sounds and listen to the conversation of others.

Pediatricians consider it important to attach the baby to the mother's breast in the first two hours of life. At this time, they believe, "emotional contact" is created between the baby and the mother. This is when the mother begins to feel the baby at a distance, his feelings, needs.

Nutrition is very important during this period of a child's life. On average, in the first month, a child gains about 600-700 grams in weight. In no case should you rush the child during the meal. After all, when he feeds on his mother's milk, he also enjoys at this moment the warm and caring mother.

At birth, a child has innate reflexes, thanks to which he adapts to the environment. But during the first months of life, some of them disappear. These reflexes include the reflex:

Sucking (touching the tongue to an object);
Swimming (if you put his stomach on the water, he will make swimming movements);
Grasping (touching his hand, he squeezes it into a fist);
Search (search for the mother's breast);
The walking reflex (if you hold the child, he begins to move his legs, as if he is walking) and many others.

The following reflexes remain with the child throughout his life: blinking, sneezing, yawning, flinching, etc.

It is by reflexes that pediatricians and child psychologists determine the state and development of the child's nervous system. ...

And mothers in the first month of a child's life need to surround him not only with warmth, care, safety, but also accustom him to the day-night regime by the end of the first month.

Your child is the best, and it is in your power to help him become a harmoniously developed little man.
Summarized:

The development of a child in one year is very rapid. In just 365 days, the child turns from a tiny, unable and not knowing anything human into a reasonable one. At the age of 1, he already knows how to walk independently, sit down, get up, eat, drink, play, speak, feel and understand. The main thing is to protect the child with care and love at this time. Never swear in front of a child. Although he is small, he still feels and understands everything. Raise your children healthy, smart and strong!
