The Baby’s First Year
Physical Development
![Page 2: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Learning Targets • I can….
– Identify the most important milestones of growth & development during a baby’s first year
– Describe the structure of the brain & how it works
– Describe methods for handling & feeding an infant
– Indentify other skills involved in meeting an infants physical needs
![Page 3: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
As a Table…• You are to sketch a outline of a “typical”
baby at birth and at one year.• Compare and discuss your sketches
with the table next to you• Read the story on page 249 about Jason
and Brett.• While reading, identify Jason’s needs that Brett is meeting??
![Page 4: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Growth & Development
• Development – sequence (step-by-step)• Three basic patterns
– Head to Foot • Begins long before birth• Baby’s head takes lead in development • Head – arms & hands – legs & feet
– Near to Far• Starts close to body & moves outward• Waves arms, hand – finger control
– Simple to Complex• Large muscle – small muscle • Torso – upper body
![Page 5: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Influences on Growth &
Development • Typically, babies follow the same
pattern, they do so at their own rate• Terms are used interchangeably, but
they are not the same thing• Growth – changes in size, weight &
length • Development – increases & changes in
physical, social or intellectual skills
![Page 6: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Influences on Growth &
Development • Both heredity (nature) & environment
(nurture)• Developmental milestone – a key skill
used to check a child’s progress
![Page 7: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Growth & Development during
the 1st year • Typically triple birth weight • Usually increase length by about 50%• Growth chart – shows the average weight &
height of boys & girls at various ages – Few match –remember they grow at own rate– Dr. watches for a steady pattern of growth
![Page 8: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Weight • Weight gains – one of the best signs of
good health • Most lose about 10% of their birth
weight in the first five days • After they begin to gain weight rapidly • 1st 6 months = gain 1 – 2 lbs/month• 2nd 6 months = 1 lb• Average weight 1 year old = 20 – 22 lbs• Boys typically weight more than girls
![Page 9: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Length • Length rather than height b/c they
are measured lying down • Steadily grow in length due to
bone growth is rapid• Average newborn – 20 in” – 30”• Heredity – strong influence • Boys slightly longer than girls
![Page 10: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Body Shape • Tend to hold themselves in a tightly
curled position w/fist clenched, legs bent, & feet curved inward
• Head may have a elongated shape (child birth)
• Arms & legs skinny• Abdomen – large• Umbilical cord stump – dries up &
drops off in 3 weeks revealing navel• Legs & feet straighten out 6 months
![Page 11: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Proportion
• Refers to the size relationship between the parts of the body
• Compared to body – head & abdomen – large
• Legs & arms – short and small• Baby’s head grows rapidly to
accommodate (make room for) the swiftly developing brain
• skull – spaces called “fontanels”
![Page 12: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sight/Vision • Improves rapidly, 1st blurry• Within week – focus on
objects that are 7 -10 in” away– 1 mo. – three feet– 6 mos – eyesight
reaches the clarity & sharpness of the adult level
• At 1st, babies see world in 2 dimensions
• Depth perception – ability to perceive objects that are three-dimensional 2nd mo
• Patterns & colors • High contrast –
alternating stripes, bull’s eye or faces– Color red or blue
• Hand-eye coordination – ability to move their hands & fingers precisely in relation to what is seen – Reach for objects 3
mo – important milestone
![Page 13: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
On a Sheet of Paper ..
• Draw what would be best for an infant
![Page 14: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
QUESTIONS???• By age 1, infants _____________ their
weight.• By age 1, infants increase their length by
__________.• Describe the body shape of an infant.• What is a developmental milestone?• What do infants like to look at?
• Don’t forget about your mobiles on Monday
![Page 15: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Hearing
• Develops before birth• Full term baby – tell general direction• Newborns respond to tone of voice, not
words• 7 mos – recognize parents & caregivers
by voice• Language development begins with
hearing words first, then imitating – understanding
• Premature & infections = hearing problems – language development delay
![Page 16: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Smell & Taste• Surrounded by amniotic fluid before
arrival – sense of smell does not develop until after birth
• Develops quickly– 10 days – know mommy by smell
• Taste – quickly – 2 weeks – can taste the difference– Learn by using their mouths – Put everything in there!!
• Clean, not sharp, not too small
![Page 17: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Handling & Feeding Infants
• I can…– Explain how to hold and feed a baby– Identify an infant’s nutritional needs
![Page 20: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Handling a Baby• Infants need to be moved & held for
different reasons• Remember when you hold an infant, you
have the chance to strengthen your bond & to help the baby feel secure & happy!!!
• Require greatest care – neck muscles cannot support their head
• Must keep your hand/arm under neck & head at all times.
![Page 21: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lifting a Newborn
Slide one hand under the baby’s buttocks and the other under the shoulders & head. Use your forearm to support the neck & head as you raise your hands together to lift the new born.
![Page 22: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Holding a newborn in your arm
• Hold the baby upright, cradled in the curve of your arm. Your arms supports the baby’s head & neck, and you can easily maintain eye contact w/the baby
![Page 23: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Holding a newborn against your chest
• Hold the baby against your chest , so that the baby faces – or peeks over – your shoulder. Use your hand to support the baby’s neck & hand.
![Page 24: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Questions • Name the 3 patterns of physical development• Define:
– Hand-eye coordination– Depth perception
• Never __________ a baby.• True or false: Brain developments begins at
birth• True or false: Weight is most influenced by
heredity
![Page 25: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Putting a Newborn Down
• Continue to support both the neck and head and the body. Bend over, keeping the baby close to your body until the baby’s body is resting on a surface that can support his or her body. Then remove your arms.
![Page 26: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Gentle Handling
• Never shake or jiggle • Thousands of babies each year suffer from
shaken baby syndrome - caused when someone severely shakes the baby (stop crying)
• Damage to brain, learning problems, mental retardation, blindness, deafness, death
![Page 27: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
When a baby cries = frustration
• Put the baby down in safe place – go to a different room – calm down before returning
• Ask friend/relative to take care of the baby• Take deep breaths – look at the window• Call someone and talk about problem until
you calm down
![Page 28: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Feeding a Baby
• More than physical nourishment• Contact w/others• Learn more about the world
![Page 29: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Feeding Schedules
• Newborn’s feeding & sleeping schedule unpredictable at first– Newborns need to eat as much as they want &
as often• Feedings are necessary b/c a newborns
stomach can hold only small amounts• Breast fed babies eat more often• 2nd – 3rd month – regular pattern emerges • About 12 lbs – babies can sleep thru night
![Page 30: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Feeding Methods
• 1st year – breast milk or formula• Not cow’s milk – too hard for them to
digest, contains minerals their kidneys cannot process
• Formula w/cow’s milk acceptable
![Page 31: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Feeding from the Bottle
• Hold the baby close in a semi-upright position
• Neck & head supported• Head well above the stomach• Hold bottle at angle
– Baby can suck comfortably & less air• Warm bottle – not necessary • Warm it – place in pan of water on stove
until lukewarm
![Page 32: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Feeding
• Check temperature on wrist – lukewarm• Never heat in the microwave• Formula left in bottle – throw it away• Bacteria can grow quickly• Feeding bottle should be sterilized• Never lead a bottle propped up so baby
drinks alone• Healthy babies usually eat the amount they
need
![Page 33: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Burping the Baby
• No matter the method, burp the baby as least twice – once during feeding & once when the feeding is over
• Breast feeding – burp during the switch from one breast to the other
• Why must you burp the baby?– They swallow air along with the liquid
• Discomfort – Don’t be surprise if the baby doesn’t burp
![Page 34: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Small Group Activity (Group of 2)
• You are to prepare a cartoon strip titled “Things to Do When Bottle-Feeding Your Baby”
• Content of strip– How to prepare formula– How to hold the baby during feeding– How & why to burp the baby– Be creative!!
![Page 35: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Introducing New Foods
• Around 6 months other foods will be added• Pediatrician will recommend when to
introduce “solid” foods• Most babies = no rush• Choose a time when baby is happy, content
and well
![Page 36: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Introducing New Foods
• B/c the food the unfamiliar – spit back the first spoonfuls
• Introduce it later or combine it with a favorite
• PATIENCE
![Page 37: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Introducing New Foods Tips
• Hold baby in an upright position• If baby is used to lukewarm formula – heat
solid foods to lukewarm– NEVER use the microwave
• Be prepared for messy feedings• Cereal – running, dilute with formula or
breast milk – NEVER put in bottle = choke• Do not feed baby from the jar. (Bacteria) Put
small amount in bowl and refrigerate leftover immediately
![Page 38: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Read page 273 – Ask the Expert
• Answer questions 1 & 2• At your table, decide on ways to prepare
homemade baby food. • Be prepared to share group findings.
![Page 39: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Think about..
• Your reactions to food (cereals, vegetables, fruits)
• Do you think babies would have the same response??? Why or why not?
• List types of fruits and vegetables that could be mashed and served as one of a baby’s first solid foods
![Page 40: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Weaning • Changing from drinking from the bottle or
breast to a drinking from a cup• Important sign of the baby’s increasing
independence • No precise age, 9 months – common• Usually baby will show signs
– Playing or looking around, pushing away, likes to eat from a spoon
• Do not force – other feeding & behavior problems
![Page 41: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Self-feeding
• Sit up steadily (8 – 10 months) baby will show signs– eat with fingers & reach for spoon
• 1st – fun more baby, but not much eating will take place
• you – help out – separate spoons, placing food in baby’s mouth
• PATIENCE & humor • Encourage
![Page 42: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
What do you think
• Mashed bananas• Hot dogs• Grapes• Peanuts• Small cereal pieces
• Which foods do you think are appropriate for a baby to self feed
![Page 43: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Read page 275 – Self-Feeding Safely
• Answer follow up questions 1 & 2
![Page 44: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Nutritional Concerns
• Your responsibility = making sure baby’s nutritional needs are being met
• Problems = too much food, too little food or the wrong kinds of foods
![Page 45: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Overfeeding
• As they gain weight – they may look fat• Most will slim down by age three• Bottle fed more likely to be overfed• Worried talk to pediatrician • Healthy eating habits – established early in
life• Small nutritious foods – smaller portions • MyPlate
![Page 46: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Inadequate Nutrition
• Infants = very specific nutritional needs• Enough calories = rapid growth• Nutrient rich foods • Food that is easy to digest• Adequate amounts of liquid
![Page 47: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• What are some causes of inadequate nutrition?
![Page 48: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Inadequate Nutrition
• Can cause lasting physical problems • Linked to poor brain development &
learning problems• Many government & community programs
help to eliminate malnutrion • WIC – Women, Infants & Children program
![Page 49: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Do you know the signs
• Growth = below average• Nervous or irritable behavior• Wounds that are slow to heal• Hair = thin, dull, lifeless, easy to pull out• Swollen eyelids• Poor posture• Poor coordination • Diarrhea
![Page 50: The Baby’s First Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568164db550346895dd72edd/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Tomorrow
• You are to research commercial baby food.
