"Parents and caregivers provide an environment of stimuli for children in the first three years, preparing them for effective and comprehensive communication skills throughout their lives."
—Dr. Robert Golinkoff, developmental psychologist.
Babies are referred to as infants from the full moon to their first birthday. The infant stage is characterized by rapid growth and development. From being able to only eat and sleep in the neonatal period to being able to run around, call "Mommy" and "Daddy," hum songs, and dance by the time they turn one year old! During infancy, a baby's weight and height increase the fastest. By the age of one, their weight is three times that at birth, and their height is twice as much.
With such rapid growth and development, babies naturally require adequate and balanced nutrition. Their bodies are still very delicate, so they need extra careful care. The baby's nervous system is not yet fully developed, so it is especially important to avoid strong stimuli, particularly to prevent high fever, use medication cautiously, and maintain frequent communication to help the baby grow up healthily.
The baby's digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems are not yet fully developed, so they require meticulous care in eating, drinking, elimination, and sleeping. Careful attention should also be given to their breathing, pulse, and body temperature. Meticulous care should be taken in everything to ensure that your baby grows up healthily in,,, and loving care.
