Chapter 3
- What part of an infant grows most in the first two years?
The brain grows faster than any other organ between two weeks after birth and two years after birth, reaching about 25% of adult weight at birth and nearly 75% of adult weight by age two.
- What does it mean if a baby doesn’t look for an object that disappears?
According to Jean Piaget’s research, a baby’s object permanence develops around the age of eight months. or instance, when you hide a favorite toy, a child’s understanding of object permanence can be gauged by their reaction. If the child appears baffled or frustrated and does not search for the toy, the concept has not yet been grasped.
- Why do people talk to babies too young to talk back?
Talking with your baby or toddler can aid in the development of his language and communication skills. It’s best if you talk to your baby or toddler as much as possible. This is due to the fact that parents who talk to their young children frequently use a variety of sounds and words. Children’s language comprehension improves when they hear more words and a variety of different words. It also expands their vocabulary and allows them to use a wider range of words.
- Which is most important in the first year of life, accurate hearing or seeing?
Hearing is an important part of a child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development during the first few years of life. A child’s ability to develop speech and language can be damaged by even a mild or partial hearing loss.
- What political controversy makes objective research on newborn pain difficult?
Due to a lack of pain assessment tools, children’s pain is underestimated and undertreated because babies are unable to communicate themselves.
- Why is it not worrisome if an infant is consistently at the 20th percentile in height and weight?
Inconsistency, defined as a significant change in percentile, either up or down, is not. However, Consistency particularly at the 20th percentile is normal because it falls somewhere above being too light and below being too heavy.
- How do sleep patterns change over the first 18 months?
Newborns sleep 15-17 hours per day, broken up into 1-3 hour segments. With age, the number of hours spent sleeping decreases. A sleep regression can result in problems going to bed or waking up in the middle of the night.
- What are the reasons for and against bed-sharing?
Bed-sharing raises the risk of suffocation and SIDS. It also raises the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
