Patient's question:
I got married to my husband last month. Recently, my husband has quit smoking, and we are planning to have a baby. Before we have our baby, I would like to know what are the general patterns of children's growth and development?Doctor's answer:
The period from birth to one month is considered the neonatal period, from one month to twelve months is the infant period, and from one year to three years is the preschooler period.After three months of birth, the baby can start to laugh audibly and can roll over by themselves. By six months, they can sit independently and communicate with others using simple sounds like "a-oh." Generally, around seven or eight months, they can crawl.
Around one year old, the baby can stand independently and start babbling.
These are just approximate developmental timelines, and individual circumstances may vary. The development can be slightly earlier or later, and it is directly related to feeding and education.
