mmmmmmmhhhh! its long time my dears but hopeful we are all okay and real fine!

well today let us talk a little bit about or on how the children from six months or one year behave. As most of us knows that from that age is where the baby can start to sit, stand and even walk by themselves and talking too.

Also most babies at this age are catching different things from their voice or sound and starting to understand when talking to them.

So at this stage maids and parents have to be very carefully on what they are doing or speaking because babies are catching them and practice them later on.

well for today let us end here then we will talk and continue with our discussion later on if not tomorrow my dears....have a nice day cheeers...!!!

well weeell good afternoon to you all!! today we are going to discuss about the six months to one year baby's psychology on how they behave in different things......

You see in Motor skills, or behavioral abilities, develop in conjunction with physical growth. In other words, infants must learn to engage in motor activities within the context of their changing bodies. At about 1 month, infants may lift their chins while lying flat on their stomachs. Within another month, infants may raise their chests from the same position. By the fourth month, infants may grasp rattles, as well as sit with support. By the fifth month, infants may roll over, and by the eighth month, infants may be able to sit without assistance. At about 10 months, toddlers may stand while holding onto an object for support. At about 14 months, toddlers may stand alone and perhaps even walk. Of course, these ages for each motor-skill milestone are averages; the rates of physical and motor developments differ among children depending on a variety of factors, including heredity, the amount of activity the child participates in, and the amount of attention the child receives. 

Motor development follows cephalocaudal (center and upper body) and proximodistal (extremities and lower body) patterns, so that motor skills become refined first from the center and upper body and later from the extremities and lower body. For example, swallowing is refined before walking, and arm movements are refined before hand movements.

Sensation and perception

Normal infants are capable of sensation, or the ability to respond to sensory information in the external world. These infants are born with functioning sensory organs, specialized structures of the body containing sensory receptors, which receive stimuli from the environment. Sensory receptors convert environmental energy into nervous system signals that the brain can understand and interpret.For example, the sensory receptors can convert light waves into visual images. The human senses include seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting. 
 
Newborns are very nearsighted, but visual acuity, or ability, develops quickly. Although infant vision is not as good as adult vision, babies may respond visually to their surroundings from birth. Infants are particularly attracted to objects of light-and-dark contrasts, such as the human face. Depth perception also comes within a few months. Newborns may also respond to tastes, smells, and sounds, especially the sound of the human voice. In fact, newborns may almost immediately distinguish between the primary caregiver and others on the basis of sight, sound, and smell. Infant sensory abilities improve considerably during the first year.
Perception is the psychological process by which the human brain processes the sensory data collected by the sensory organs. Visually, infants are aware of depth (the relationship between foreground and background) and size and shape constancy (the consistent size and shape of objects). This latter ability is necessary for infants to learn about events and objects. 

Let us end here today and next time we will discuss about the one year to 3 years baby's psychology so please stay with me all the time for gaining new knowledge and experience too.

Good evening all...well this evening I would like to share something which is very important, its all about breast feeding and its important and which type of diet should a mother take during it.

As we all know women who are breastfeeding need to be careful about what they eat and drink, since things can be passed to the baby through the breast milk. Just like during pregnancy, breastfeeding women should avoid fish that are high in mercury, and limit lower mercury fish intake. If a woman has alcohol, a small amount can be passed to the baby through breast milk. She should wait to breastfeed at least 2 hours after a single alcoholic drink to avoid passing any alcohol to the baby. Caffeine intake should be kept to no more than 300 milligrams (about one to three cups of regular coffee) per day for breastfeeding women because it may cause problems such as restlessness and irritability in some babies. A diet coke has 46 mg per 12 oz can, and a can of pepsi has 40 mg. Most drinks post their caffeine content on the can or bottle near the nutrition label and ingredients. Some infants are sensitive enough to caffeine to have problems even with smaller amounts of caffeine. 

Healthy infant growth

The average breastfed baby doubles its birth weight in 5–6 months. By one year, a typical breastfed baby will weigh about 2½ times its birth weight. At one year, breastfed babies tend to be leaner than formula fed babies, which is healthier, especially in the long-run. A general guide to the growth of breastfed babies is the following:

• Weight gain of 4–7 ounces (112–200 grams) a week during the first month
• An average of 1–2 pounds (1/2 to 1 kilogram) per month for the first six months
• An average of one pound (1/2 kilogram) per month from six months to one year
• Babies usually grow in length by about an inch a month (2.5c.m.) during the first six months, and around one-half inch a month from six months to one year.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Okay its my hope that you all get me well...if you have anything to ask or add, you are most welcome and you can write and leave your comments!

 

Good afternoon everyone! its my great hope that you are all fine...well let us proceed with our discussion about the three to six months baby's psychology...!!

Still keenly interested in mum and dad, baby is also becoming both motivated and equipped to explore the external world more and more. This also means that the first forms of interactive play will typically commence. These interactions are indeed fun and enjoyable for both parent and child, however they are also incredibly important for baby’s ongoing development. Although fun and games on the surface, caretaker behaviour during these interactions is very influential in facilitating and supporting baby’s ongoing desire to master the environment.

Baby’s behaviours begin to reflect the ongoing development of his relationships, cognitive abilities, and perceptual abilities. Baby is especially growing more and more interested in exploring the external world. At about 6 months, baby’s attention will begin to shift away from an exclusive focus on attachment figure interactions. He wants to look at everything and explore everything, usually with his mouth and fingers. You will notice baby scanning his surroundings looking for new objects and listening to sounds intently. This growing interest in the outside world combined with a keen ongoing interest in caregivers is the perfect recipe for first forms of interactive play to commence. 

Okay for today let us end here and we will proceed next time...have a great time all!!

chaooo!!

Hallow every one, hope you are all alright!! its long time...sorry I was a bit busy with University Examination but now am back...!!

well today lets discuss about the three to six months baby's psychology......

Most parents find having a baby between three and six months old very enjoyable.  Your baby will have come a long way in the first three months, and many of the internal "settling down" processes that newborns have will have been overcome.  Three month babies old are usually very social  beings who delight in being with you.  And parents have usually learned enough of their baby's ways and messages to get their responses right for most of the time.

Social and emotional development

• By three or four months old your baby is beginning to get a bit of an idea about being in the world and you are getting to know each other.
• She will be making eye contact with you and you will be smiling at each other. She will be able to 'read' some of your expressions and she will look worried if you look cross or worried.
• She has learnt that you are the person [or one of the people] who comes a lot of the time to meet her needs but she does not yet fully understand that you are a separate person.
• She still has a idea that the whole of life is happening inside herself and she is making all of it happen. The idea that you are completely separate from her, and can take yourself away from her, will not come until she is seven months or older.
   
  When you understand what she wants and try to meet her needs she feels that the world is safe and predictable and good things come from inside her as well as from you. She is getting the idea that relationships are rewarding and also that she is valuable and this is an important basis for her relationship with you and other people as well as her own self esteem.
• At this stage she is often happy to smile and engage with strangers because she is getting so much pleasure from smiling and engaging with you.
• You and she will be having 'conversations' with each other, she will be getting excited at the feeling of you responding to her and kick her legs and wave her arms.
• She will still easily become over stimulated, so take care - when she does have too much excitement she will start to cry and need to be calmed down.

Goood morning every body..well today also I would like to proceed with our discussion on newbaby's psychology...!!

Oooohh!Yes, newborns spend most of their time sleeping and and eating. Taking care of anew baby can feel like a series of mechanical task.

But babies are much more than eating, sleeping, pooping machines. At birth, they are primed and ready for social input.


Even if you are too tired too notice, your loving care has profound effects on your baby’s developing mind.
Decades ago, this seemed doubtful. People assumed that newborn babies were empty-headed, passive lumps. Babies didn’t really have minds—not yet—and they certainly didn’t respond to social stimuli.
Today we know differently. It appears that babies are born with remarkable social capacities that help them
• identify voices and faces
• communicate, and
• develop an understanding of other minds
So neonates aren’t blank slates, and the people who care for newborns are more than diaper-changers. Think of a newborn as a computer than comes preloaded with software designed to detect patterns in the social environment. This software helps guide newborn development.
Here are some examples of the social feats that vabies can perform within the first few days of life.

heeeelloooow! everyone, its my hope that you are all fine...back to me I am very fine!! well today I would like to discuss a bit about the newborn's baby psychology!

In your baby’s early months, she is working out what the world is like. If your newborn cries and someone comes, and if she is cuddled, kissed and played with, she is going to think the world is a pretty OK place.

On the other hand, if your baby cries and nobody comes, or if nobody ever smiles or cuddles him, he is going to think the world is a pretty hard place.

Research shows that when a parent responds quickly to comfort a crying infant, the baby cries less often overall. It is absolutely fine to pick your baby up when she cries. It tells her that she is safe because you are a caring, responsive parent who loves her.

Crying is a newborn’s way of communicating, of telling you what he needs. It’s a sound that can spur you into action (even when you are fast asleep). It can turn on a mother’s milk like some kind of magic remote control.
