Child development in 1 month. In the first 10 days of life, after the birth of a child, it is necessary to determine the presence of visual oriented reactions, namely, whether the child can fix his gaze on the toy and monitor its movement. To do this, take a rattle with a ball with a diameter of 5-6 centimeters. Put the child on a changing table or bed on the back. Take a rattle and fix it at a distance of 40-50 centimeters above the baby’s chest. Then slowly move it 2-3 times to the right and left over a distance of no more than 30 centimeters.
If the child does not fix the eye on the toy, does not follow its movement, do not immediately be discouraged, perhaps he is simply in an uncomfortable position or at the moment does not want to come into contact with you. Therefore, wait a bit, and also find this position of the child’s head and the direction of his gaze in which he can perceive what is happening around. If the child will not respond to your subsequent samples, you need to contact specialists.
Child development in 1 month
On 10-18 days of the child’s life, you can continue to control the development of visual orientational reactions. To do this, place the baby on the horizontal surface with a tummy up. Take any bright toy and start rocking it left and right. Then stop and fix the toy at a distance of 40-50 centimeters from the eye of the child. Normally, the baby should concentrate his view on the toy or on the face of an adult for 5-10 seconds. The child may not show a reaction to the toy, so bend down and smile at him, then return to the starting position and wait for the answer. If the child does not react at all to the toy or you, you need the help of specialists.
At the age of the child for 1 month, the child’s ability to monitor the moving subject is checked. Take a bright toy and start rocking it in front of the child lying on the back. Perform the following actions with the toy: approach and remove the toy (at a distance of 10 centimeters from the child), raise the toy up above the child to a distance of up to 70 centimeters, then lower it to a distance of 40-50 centimeters from the baby’s eyes and move it to 20- 30 centimeters first left, then to the right. The expected reaction of the child is the concentration of a look on the toy, tracking with turning the head left and right. You can help the baby, turning his head slightly in different directions.
At the age of the child 1 month, in addition to visually orientational reactions, the emotional development of the baby is studied. To do this, lean over the child lying on your back, smile at him, talk to him, sing a song, slightly stake. In response to your actions, a normally developing child will smile nonsense.
In order to assess the motor capabilities of the baby, put him on the tummy, lift his head and hold it for 5 seconds. To provide assistance, you can stroke it on the back.
In a child at the age of 1 month, the prerequisites for the development of speech are already emerging. In order to identify them, put the baby on his back, lean over him at a distance of 25-30 centimeters and affectionately and sorely say vowels. In response, individual vocalization of the baby should follow.
If you have any deviations in the development of the child at 1 month of life, do not be upset and do not be discouraged. This can be a temporary condition. But it is better to contact a qualified psychologist or a defectologist for advice. Be attentive to your baby’s health!
