Study Notes
Growth and Development Measurement
- Growth monitoring is crucial during the infancy period (0-12 months)
Areas of Development
-
Physical Development:
- Involves the development of the body, including both Gross Motor Skills (large muscle movements) and Fine Motor Skills (small muscle movements).
- Gross Motor Skills examples include running, throwing, and jumping.
- Fine Motor Skills examples include manipulating objects like bottles, spoons, and pencils.
-
Cognitive Development:
- Encompasses the development of the mind, including thinking, using memory, and problem-solving.
-
Language Development:
- Focuses on the development of speech and communication skills.
-
Social Development:
- Involves the development of friendships and the acquisition of social skills like taking turns during play.
-
Emotional Development:
- Concerns the expression and management of feelings.
Infancy Period (0-12 Months): Developmental Milestones
-
Physical Development:
-
Newborn:
- Gross Motor: Sucking, rooting, startle, grasping, and stepping reflexes. Movements are uncontrolled and uncoordinated.
- Fine Motor: No coordinated movement; grasp things placed in hands as a reflex action.
-
1 Month:
- Gross Motor: Turn from side to back and lift head briefly.
- Fine Motor: Can open hands to grasp a finger.
-
3 Months:
- Gross Motor: Can lift head and chest when on stomach, bring hands together, sit with back straight when being held, wave hands.
- Fine Motor: Watch hands and hold a rattle for a moment.
-
6 Months:
- Gross Motor: Roll over from back to front, lift head and chest while supporting themselves on arms.
- Fine Motor: Reach for a toy and move it from one hand to the other.
-
9 Months:
- Gross Motor: Sit unsupported, crawl or roll, pull up to stand alone, walk by holding onto furniture.
- Fine Motor: Use a pincer grip (index finger and thumb) to grasp objects, deliberately release objects by dropping them.
-
12 Months:
- Gross Motor: Pull up to stand, stand alone, walk while holding onto furniture.
- Fine Motor: Use a pincer grasp to pick up small objects, point using their index finger.
-
Newborn:
-
Cognitive Development:
- Newborn: Turn head towards light, gaze at human faces, startled by sudden noises.
- 1 Month: Repeat movements like sucking their thumb, may freeze for a moment when hearing a particular sound.
- 3 Months: Recognize familiar routines, follow movement with eyes when objects are close.
- 6 Months: Explore objects by putting them in their mouth, recognize voices like their mother's.
- 8-9 Months: Look for dropped objects and hidden objects.
- 12 Months: Enjoy throwing things to the ground and watching them drop, learn through trial and error.
-
Language Development:
- Newborn: Respond to high-pitched tones by moving limbs, may copy simple actions.
- 1 Month: Turn head towards an adult voice, begin to coo at 6 weeks.
- 3 Months: Smile when hearing a familiar voice, cry loudly to express needs.
- 6 Months: Make short babbling sounds like 'da' and 'ba', squeal with delight.
- 9 Months: Understand 'No', vocalize in long strings of babbling.

- 7-8 Months: Start to form specific attachments with familiar people.
- 8 Months Onward: Develop specific attachments, imitate actions like clapping, experience anxiety when separated from their primary caregiver (stranger anxiety).
Measurement of Height, Weight, Head Circumference, and Chest Circumference
- These measurements are crucial for tracking physical growth and development.
- These measurements should be performed carefully and consistently using appropriate tools and techniques.
- Any unusual or significant deviations from expected norms should be reported to medical professionals.
Infant Weight and Growth
- Normal birth weight range: 2.7-4 kg
- Newborns lose 5-10% of weight in the first 3-4 days due to factors like hormone withdrawal, fluid loss, meconium passage, and limited food intake.
- Length at birth: 47.5-53.75 cm for both boys and girls
- Length increases by 3 cm per month in the first 3 months, 2 cm per month at 4-6 months, and 1.5 cm per month from 7 to 12 months.
Head Circumference
- Normal birth range: 33-35 cm.
- Skull has two fontanels: anterior and posterior
- Anterior fontanel: Diamond-shaped, located between frontal and parietal bones, 3-4 cm in length and 2-3 cm in width.
- Posterior fontanel: Triangular, located between occipital and parietal bones.
- Anterior fontanel closes between 12-18 months while the posterior fontanel closes by the end of the first to second month of age.
Chest Circumference
- Normal birth range: 30.5-33 cm.
- Usually 2-3 cm less than head circumference at birth.
- Chest circumference becomes equal to head circumference by the end of the first year.
Dentition
- Eruption of teeth begins around 5-6 months of age.
- Called "Milky teeth," "Deciduous teeth," or "Temporary teeth."
- A general calculation for the number of teeth is (child's age in months - 6)
- For example, a 10-month-old infant would have around 4 teeth.
