Development of newborns

Human development after birth

Human growth lasts for the first 20-22 years of his life. Then, up to 60-65 years, the body length hardly changes. However, in the elderly and senile age (after 70 years) due to changes in body posture, thinning of the intervertebral discs, flattening of the arches of the feet, the body length is reduced by 1.0-1.5 cm per year.

A child begins to speak late

Already after the first few months of life, language (speech) differentiation occurs. At this time, Chinese babbling children are quite clearly different from European babbling babies. At the age of one year, such "babbling" is already given out by combinations of sounds, similar to words, but not important.

Lack of the child in growth

About the lag in growth, they say, when the height of the child is less than the 3rd percentile. If both parents are small, it is logical to expect that the child will be low - the constitutional causes of malnutrition in about 80% of children with missing growth.

Growth of the child and lag in weight

The ability to grow and develop is the most important in childhood. At any opportunity, the child's height and body weight should be measured and a suitable schedule should be constructed. In this case, the backlog in growth is obvious, if any.

Examination of the newborn

The purpose of the examination is to detect some pathology or to identify any "medical problems", as well as to remove certain issues from the mother and the difficulties that she had when communicating with her child.
