Is your baby growing fine?

Pajju
By Pajju

Watching a baby grow is a fascinating and unique experience for the parents. A child's growth is a complex and continuous process. They should be able to do certain things at certain ages. These are called developmental milestones. As a parent, it is important to realize that no two children develop at the same rate. It is, therefore, futile to worry that the child next door can do this and that, while ones own child cannot. At the ages noted for different activities, the child should be observed for some time.

2 months - social smile
4 months - holding neck
8 months - sitting without support
12 months -
•standing
•can spot small moving objects on the floor (vision test)
•can hear distant sounds (hearing test)

•Baby lies on the back with head turned to one side
•Sudden noise startles him making the body stiff
•The fists are clenched
•He may grasp an object touched to his palm crudely; this is the grasp reflex

•He learns to hold his head better
•He is able to fix his eyes on objects

•While lying on the back the baby moves each of his arms and legs equally well. Movements are not jerky or uncoordinated movements. The child makes gurgling sounds and other noises besides crying.
•The baby recognizes the mother and responds to her voice.
•The child's hands are frequently open.
•When the child is held upright he is able to support his head for more than a moment.

•The baby pulls up to stand.
•He begins to say words like 'mama'.
•The baby is able to walk holding on to furniture.

•He can take off some clothes such as pajamas.
•He is able to run without falling.
•He takes interest in pictures in a picture book.
•He is able to say what he wants.
•He begins to repeat words others say.
•He is able to point to some parts of his body.

•He can button some of his clothing.
•He names at least three colours.
•He can walk down stairs alternating his feet.
•He can jump with his feet apart.

And it took me months of doctors and a sigle day of internet surfing to find out the possiblity of serious problems with my child. Till then the doctors made some cash out of sending us for MRI, CT, this and that in Dubai...whereas a single pull and lift of a child's hands to lift the head can detect the problem.

I have been blessed to watch two sets of entirely different experiences.. My first born's precocious way of turning on her tummy at barely two months, getting up by 6 months, etc. And not seeing the second one on her tummy even at 4 years....
