Gigi Pertama Si Kecil

siKecik nih tumbuh gg ketika berusia 7bulan!!

Melihat gigi pertama bayi merupakan saat yang menggembirakan. Namun untuk menjaga giginya itu perlu dilakukan sejak kecil lagi. Percaya atau tidak, itulah hakikat yang mesti anda akui bahawa  gigi mula terbentuk sejak bayi berusia beberapa bulan.

Kebanyakan bayi  mulai tumbuh gigi sekitar usia enam bulan. Malah ada juga sesetengah bayi mulai tumbuh gigi pada usia 4 bulan dan ada juga yang tumbuh gigi pertama selepas berumur 1 tahun. Manakala dalam sesetengah kes, ada bayi yang dilahirkan sudah mempunyai gigi. Ia dikenali sebagai gigi neonatal. Gigi ini telah tumbuh dan hadir dalam mulut bayi semasa bayi dilahirkan. Ia amat jarang berlaku.

Reaksi Apabila gigi susu tumbuh, jangan hairan jika anak anda menunjukkan perubahan sikap. Antara perubahan sikap atau reaksi yang biasa ialah :

Kegatalan gusiIni boleh dikurangkan dengan memberi teether atau tuala sejuk untuk digigit agar bayi lebih selesa.

Gusi sakitIni boleh dilihat dengan gusi kelihatan berwarna merah dan terasa panas. Bayi juga mungkin banyak merengek dan menangis kerana tidak selesa.

DemamAda juga bayi yang mungkin demam setiap kali tumbuh gigi. Ini boleh diatasi dengan memberikan bayi ubat tahan sakit seperti paracetamol. Namun pastikan dos yang diberi betul dan tidak melebihi had maksimum dalam sehari.

Kurang makanSelera makan bayi juga akan kurang. Jika bayi tidak mahu makan, pastikan dia mendapat cukup cecair. Berikan lebih susu dan air.

Atasi masalah ketika tumbuh gigi1.Cuba memberinya sesuatu yang keras untuk di kunyah, seperti kepingan keju atau lobak merah atau gegelang gigi pertama yang sejuk. Jangan tinggalkan anak anda seorang diri ketika dia sedang mengunyah bedan keras, dikhuatiri  jika ia tercekik.
2.Jika  gusi bayi merah dan bengkak, urut lembut dengan jari anda atau ketulan kecil ais (tapi awas, bayi boleh mendapat frost bite). Cuba gunakan sedikit gel theeting bebas gula.
3.Jika si manja kelihatan sakit ketika tumbuh gigi, cecair paracetamol boleh membantu. Berikan mengikut nasihat doktor. Jangan berikan aspirin untuk kanak-kanak di bawah usia 12 tahun.
4.Dakap dan tenangkannya. Dukung dan bawanya berjalan-jalan atau bersiar-siar  dengan kereta.
5. Sekali sekala bawa dia mengunjungi doktor gigi. Doktor gigi akan memberikan nasihat yang betul bagaimana untuk menjaga gigi pertama.

Penjagaan gigi dengan berus gigi yang lembutSetelah gigi tumbuh, gigi perlu dibersihkan sekurang-kurangnya dua kali sehari. Gunakan tuala basah yang lembut untuk membersihkan gigi. Terdapat juga berus gigi bayi yang lembut di pasaran. Bayi yang kecil tidak tahu meludah jadi penggunaan ubat gigi tidak perlu untuk bayi pada umur begini.

Masalah gigi Menyentuh masalah pergigian yang serius boleh dialami oleh kanak-kanak ialah karies rampan (rampant caries). Keadaan ini adalah di mana gigi kanak-kanak menjadi reput dan hancur dan akhirnya tinggal tunggul-tunggul sahaja. Keadaan ini menyebabkan kanak-kanak sentiasa sakit gigi akibat infeksi dari gigi dan gusi. Ia diakibatkan oleh kehadiran gula dari susu, susu formula dan jus yang sentiasa bertakung dalam mulut bayi untuk masa yang lama.

Juga berlaku apabila bayi tidur dengan botol susu dalam mulut semalaman atau penggunaan botol susu untuk jangka masa yang lama sepanjang hari. Tindak balas bakteria dalam mulut terhadap gula ini akan menyebabkan kerosakan gigi berlaku.

Jika merujuk kepada masalah nursing bottle caries ini lebih ketara selepas bayi berusia tahun. Jadi langkah-langkah pencegahan mesti diambil awal iaitu sejurus selepas gigi tumbuh.

Sementara itu amalan pemakanan sihat perlu diamalkan. Berikan makanan yang seimbang. Lebihkan pemberian buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran untuk pembentukan tulang, gigi dan kulit yang sihat. Elakkan dari memberikan bayi sebarang makanan yang manis pada umur semuda ini. Jangan lupa bahawa bayi dan kanak-kanak gemar meniru gelagat ibu bapa. Jadikan proses pembersihan gigi satu aktiviti yang dibuat bersama.

Cara Beri Bantuan Kecemasan Apabila Bayi Tersedak Susu

Kes kematian akibat menyusu ketika tidur bukan sesuatu yang baru. Hampir setiap bulan, kemalangan disebabkan tersedak susu atau tercekik makanan dilaporkan media yang kebanyakannya berlaku di pusat penjagaan kanak-kanak.

Ia sesuatu yang cukup malang apabila bayi yang baru saja mengenal dunia tidak dapat meneruskan kehidupan dek kelalaian ibu bapa atau penjaganya sendiri. Belum lagi dengan emosi si ibu dan bapa yang tidak dapat menerima hakikat kehilangan anak tersayang disebabkan kecuaian.

Menurut Pakar Kanak-Kanak, Pusat Rawatan Islam Az-Zahrah, Bandar Baru Bangi, Dr Nik Rosenorleyaney Nik Ibrahim, kes kematian akibat menyusu ketika tidur atau sedar berpunca daripada bayi yang ditinggalkan menyusu bersendirian tanpa pengawasan.

Apabila seorang bayi tertidur semasa sedang menghisap botol susu, susu itu akan terus mengalir membuatkan bayi tersedak dan susu akan terus masuk ke saluran pernafasan dan paru-paru mereka.

“Dalam tubuh manusia, terdapat dua saluran iaitu pernafasan pada bahagian hadapan manakala saluran makanan pada bahagian belakang. Apabila bayi minum dalam keadaan tergesa-gesa atau mungkin lubang puting botol yang terlalu besar, susu akan terus mengalir tanpa henti ketika bayi tertidur.

“Sudah tentu bayi tidak mempunyai daya untuk menarik botol itu sendiri menyebabkan susu memasuki saluran pernafasan, seterusnya ke dalam paru-paru. Apabila ini berlaku, biasanya bayi akan tersedak atau batuk iaitu tindakan refleks yang menunjukkan bayi memerlukan pertolongan atau perlindungan.

“Namun, bagi bayi yang ditinggalkan berseorangan, sudah tentu tidak mendapat maklum balas menyebabkan bayi lemas kerana tidak dapat bernafas. Walaupun bayi tersedak susu dalam jumlah yang amat sedikit, ini sudah cukup untuk melemaskan mereka.

“Dalam masa beberapa saat saja jika tidak diberi bantuan kecemasan segera, bayi akan terus meninggal dunia,” jelasnya mengulas beberapa kejadian yang berlaku, baru-baru ini.

Tambahnya, sebagai penjaga sama ada pengasuh atau ibu bapa, amalan meletakkan kain atau bantal untuk menyokong botol susu kemudian mereka meninggalkan bayi minum sendirian tidak sepatutnya berlaku.Ini kerana, ia boleh meningkatkan risiko bayi lemas. Sepatutnya, ibu bapa dan pengasuh menyusukan bayi mereka dengan cara yang betul.

“Ketika menyusu tidak kira susu botol atau susu badan, pastikan kedudukan kepala bayi lebih tinggi daripada dada dan perutnya. Botol susu pula mesti dipegang dalam kedudukan tidak lebih 45 hingga 60 darjah supaya air susu tidak tersekat pada tekak dan menyebabkan bayi lemas.

“Pastikan juga lubang puting botol tidak terlalu besar bagi mengelakkan angin masuk ke dalam perut bayi. Sekiranya menyusu badan, pastikan kawasan puting masuk sepenuhnya ke dalam mulut bayi.

“Elakkan memberi susu dengan meletakkan bayi di atas lantai, sebaiknya pangku bayi seperti mana teknik menyusu badan. Selepas menyusu, sendawakan bayi untuk mengeluarkan angin dan mengelak bayi muntah ketika tidur,” katanya.

Selain bayi, kanak-kanak berusia tiga tahun ke atas juga boleh mengalami sesak nafas disebabkan tercekik makanan seperti kacang atau gula-gula. Ini disebabkan mereka makan sambil bermain dan akhirnya makanan itu masuk ke dalam saluran pernafasan, seterusnya ke bahagian paru-paru.

Sama seperti kes tersedak susu, jika tidak diberi rawatan segera, mangsa akan terus meninggal dunia.Menurut Dr Nik Rosenorleyaney, bagi mengelak bayi meninggal dunia akibat tersedak susu atau tercekik makanan, ibu bapa dan penjaga perlu mempunyai pengalaman melakukan rawatan kecemasan di rumah.

“Sekiranya bayi tersedak susu atau tercekik makanan, segera angkat bayi, kemudian tepuk belakang mereka beberapa kali dengan cara membiarkan muka ke bawah atau meniarapkan bayi di atas lutut kemudian tepuk belakang bayi sehingga makanan atau cecair keluar dari mulut bayi dan bayi menangis seperti biasa.

“Ini menandakan mereka sudah boleh bernafas. Bagi bayi yang tercekik makanan, sekiranya makanan yang ada dalam mulut kanak-kanak tidak keluar, korek sehingga mereka terbatuk atau memuntahkan makanan itu.

“Tindakan ini perlu dilakukan segera dalam satu minit pertama sebelum mangsa dibawa ke hospital. Dikhuatiri kelewatan melakukan bantuan kecemasan ini akan menyebabkan anda kehilangan orang yang tersayang,” katanya.

Selain tersedak susu dan tercekik makanan, kebanyakan kematian mengejut membabitkan bayi dan kanak-kanak berpunca daripada sindrom goyangan bayi, tidur meniarap dan kecederaan bilik mandi.

Ramai ibu bapa tidak tahu hayunan di dalam buaian boleh menyebabkan gegaran pada otak bayi. Ini kerana di dalam otak bayi masih mempunyai ruang di antara tengkorak dan otak. Gegaran yang kuat akan menyebabkan berlakunya pendarahan, seterusnya menyebabkan kematian.

“Kebanyakan ibu bekerja menggunakan buaian untuk memudahkan kerja. Namun ada yang menggoyang terlalu kuat mengikut irama suara anak, semakin kuat anak menangis, hayunan lebih kuat. Sebaiknya ajar anak tidak menggunakan buai atau membiarkan buai tidak bergerak.

“Ini termasuk sama ada buaian biasa atau elektrik yang turut memberi risiko sama,” katanya yang mengakui biasanya kes yang dirujuk di hospital menunjukkan bayi tidak mengalami demam atau sawan tetapi meninggal secara tiba-tiba.

Daripada imbasan dijalankan, didapati berlaku pendarahan otak yang sukar diselamatkan.Tambahnya, ada juga kes bayi yang meninggal ketika tidur yang boleh dikategorikan sebagai sindrom kematian mengejut. Ini berlaku bagi bayi yang tidur meniarap.

“Menidurkan bayi secara meniarap boleh menyebabkan bayi lemas dan akhirnya meninggal dunia secara tiba-tiba. Ini berlaku bagi bayi yang masih belum berupaya mengangkat dan memusingkan kepala sendiri. Biarkan bayi tidur terlentang bagi mengelak lemas.

“Pastikan alas digunakan lembut dan tidak tenggelam. Elakkan penggunaan selimut kerana turut memberi risiko sekiranya kain itu menutupi muka bayi,” katanya.

Perkara yang jarang diambil perhatian ialah keselamatan di bilik mandi. Sekiranya anak sudah pandai merangkak dan berjalan, sentiasa pastikan pintu bilik air tertutup dan tiada baldi atau besen berisi air.Walaupun air di dalamnya hanya berisi enam inci, ia sudah cukup melemaskan bayi sekiranya muka bayi termasuk di dalamnya dan seterusnya menyekat saluran pernafasan.

Ibu bapa bekerja yang menghantar anak ke pusat penjagaan kanak-kanak harus memastikan pusat penjagaan itu mempunyai sijil yang sah juga pengasuh berpengalaman yang mempunyai pengetahuan mengenai bantuan kecemasan.

Di samping itu, tinjau kawasan sekitar seperti tandas, dapur, tempat tidur dan tempat bermain yang selamat untuk anak mereka.

Panduan keselamatan ketika di pusat penjagaan kanak-kanak:

*Pastikan pusat penjagaan kanak-kanak tidak menggunakan buai.

*Setiap bayi tidur di dalam katil masing-masing dan diasingkan mengikut usia bagi mengelak bayi terlanggar atau terpijak.

*Menggunakan peralatan tidur yang selamat misalnya tilam yang tegang dan rata supaya bayi senang bergerak.

*Mempunyai peralatan untuk mensterilkan susu sama ada untuk susu formula atau ibu bagi mengelak keracunan makanan.

*Orang yang menyediakan susu adalah orang yang sama. Ini bagi mengelak tertukar susu terutama bagi bayi yang alah dengan susu lembu.

*Pemberian susu botol harus diberikan secara orang perseorangan mengikut posisi menyusu badan. Elakkan memberi susu ketika bayi berbaring.

*Tempat menguruskan bayi harus diasingkan daripada dapur atau memasak makanan di tempat lain kemudian dibawa ke pusat penjagaan kanak-kanak. Ini bagi memastikan kebersihan serta mengelak kanak-kanak bermain dengan peralatan berbahaya di dapur.

*Elakkan penggunaan cerek, sebaiknya gunakan termos yang boleh dikunci.

*Pastikan mainan yang tidak berbucu atau bersegi yang boleh menyebabkan kanak-kanak menggunakannya untuk mengetuk kepala kanak-kanak lain.

*Hanya menggunakan barang permainan yang tidak mempunyai pewarna berbahaya.

*Anak patung haruslah yang mudah dibasuh serta tidak menyebabkan alahan terutama penyakit asma.

Aktiviti Rangsang Si Manja

Baru lahir

Perkembangan deria sentuh baru bermula. Bayi ingin merasai kelembutan. Cuba sentuhkan anak patung beruang di tangannya. Dia akan dapat merasai kelembutan.

Satu bulan

Ketika usia ini, bayi suka menendang dan membuat aksi mengayuh. Pegang kakinya dan buat gerakan seperti sedang mengayuh basikal. Sambil membuat gerakan itu anda boleh menyanyi mengikut rentak kakinya. Dia akan berasa keseronokan. Secara tidak langsung ia membantu perkembangan kemahiran motor kasar bayi.

Dua bulan

Bunyi bising boleh membuatkan bayi bertindak balas mencari arah bunyian yang dihasilkan. Barang mainan yang mengeluarkan bunyi bising akan membuatkan bayi aktif dengan menggerakkan kaki dan tangannya. Cara ini membantu merangsang perkembangan deria pendengarannya.

Tiga bulan

Kebanyakan bayi pada usia ini sudah mampu menggerakkan tangan. Dengan menggantung objek yang bergerak ke kiri dan kanan boleh membuatkan bayi teruja untuk mencapainya. Namun pastikan objek itu ringan. Pergerakan objek itu membuatkan tangan dan mata bayi bergerak ke kanan dan kiri. Dia juga mula memberi fokus kepada objek tersebut. Alat permainan ini membantu perkembangan koordinasi tangan dan mata.

Empat bulan

Duduk bersamanya dan pegang buku yang berwarna-warni dan penuh ilustrasi. Warna-warna terang mampu menarik minatnya untuk memberi fokus dan menyentuh buku. Anda juga boleh mula memperkenalkan kad imbasan bergambar dan berwarna. Sebut perkataan yang tertera. Walaupun masih kecil tetapi bayi belajar menyerap apa yang didengari. Ia sekali gus membantu perkembangan visual dan lisannya.

Lima bulan

Bayi baru sahaja mengenal beberapa perkataan. Mungkin aktiviti menyanyi boleh membuatkan dia bertambah ceria. Baringkan bayi di atas katil, dan bertepuk tangan atau menggerakkan badan anda, dia pasti seronok.

Enam bulan

Aktiviti memperkenalkan ahli keluarga menerusi album gambar keluarga. Sebut nama mereka satu persatu. Cara ini mengajarnya mengenali wajah orang yang dekat termasuk pengasuh, kawan atau jiran anda. Ini membantunya berasa selamat apabila melihat wajah-wajah tersebut.

How your baby's brain develops

Humans are the only animals whose brains triple in size during the first two years of life. If it were any larger at birth, a baby's head would not fit through its mother's pelvis. Any smaller, and the baby's survival would be in jeopardy. The brain grow to 75 percent of its adult size by age two, and 90 percent by age three. 

But just how does infant brain development occur?

1. When your baby is born his brain weighs about 350 g (12oz); by his first birthday it weighs 1 kg (2.2 lb).
2. At birth, the brain already has some 200 billion neurons (nerve cells) - about the same number as it will have in adulthood.
3. Each neuron responds to stimulation by growing a network of dendrites (branches) and synapses (connections) between itself and its neighbors.
4. Each neuron ends up with dendrites leading to an average of 15,000 synapses.
5. Dendrite formation becomes more complex over time, with third- and fourth-tier branches appearing by 6 months of age.
6. The more stimulation the brain receives, the more sophisticated its dendritic networks become.
7. The frontal lobe (the part of the brain that deals with emotions) becomes highly metabolically active from 6 months of age. By 18 months the neural foundations of your baby's emotional intelligence are laid.
8. Between 2 and 4 months old, the number of synapses in your baby's visual cortex increases tenfold to 20,000 per neuron.
9. By 12 months, neurons that distinguish native language have found their permanent position.
10. At 18 months the brain's language center experiences a massive synaptic spurt, producing an explosion in grammar.

During the first eight years of life, and in particular the first three, there are a number of critical windows for acquiring specific types of intelligence. Once these windows have closed, learning is much more difficult, if not impossible. Babies are particularly open to learning during their first year, as outside of the brainstem (which controls critical life-sustaining processes), very few neural pathways have formed.

Your 4-month-old's development

Feeding less frequently

As your baby reaches four months, his stomach has grown bigger so he doesn't need to feed so often -- just four or five times a day. But he'll still gain weight -- his need to feed just tapers off as he gets older, becoming more like that of older children and adults. 

Now his attention will start to gravitate toward other people and things during mealtimes, and though it's exciting to see him aware of and responsive to new things, feedings can get difficult. If your baby is easily distracted, try feeding him somewhere quiet for a while. 

A new talent for rolling over

When placed on his stomach, your baby will lift his head and shoulders high, using his arms for support. This mini push-up helps him strengthen his muscles and get a better view of what's going on. He may even amaze you (and himself!) by rolling over from his back to his front, or vice versa. You can encourage this through play: wiggle a toy next to the side he customarily rolls to in case he's interested enough to try again. Applaud his efforts and smile; he may need your reassurance since new actions can be frightening. 

Time for solid foods?

For the first four to six months of life your baby gets all the nutrients he needs from breastmilk or formula milk. Still, parents are often eager to start their babies on solid foods. Talk to your doctor before trying yours on solids. 

You can begin feeding your baby some solids (meaning mushy foods such as pureed baby food or baby cereal) now that his digestive tract is more developed and his tongue-thrust reflex is starting to fade, but many doctors encourage parents to wait until their baby is six months old. Not rushing onto solids can cut down on allergic reactions and ensures that breastmilk and formula won't get crowded out of your baby's diet. 

Reaching out and mouthing objects

Your baby is now able to reach out and grab an object, even though he often misses his mark on the first try. Once he wraps his hands around something, he'll study it for a moment and then try to put it in his mouth. You may also notice a lot more dribbling now. Some babies can start teething as early as four months, but the first tooth usually doesn't surface until five to six months. 

Encourage your baby to explore and play with a variety of objects. For instance, a clean cloth nappy will occupy your baby for a few minutes. Watch him suck on it, hold it, and discover what happens when he scrunches it up. Give him a light rattle and watch him delight in the sound it makes when he shakes it. An activity centre or cradle gym is a good choice for this stage, as your baby begins to discover the cause and effect of moving a lever and hearing a bell ring, for instance. 

Able to play alone now

By now, your baby can play with his hands and feet for a few minutes at a time. A miracle! Suddenly you realise it's strangely quiet in the bedroom so you look in, only to discover that your baby, who so far has needed your attention for most of every waking moment, is amusing himself. Now maybe you can start reading the paper again. 

Beginning to understand the role of language

Researchers believe that by four months, your baby understands all the basic sounds that make up his native language. Between four and six months, he develops the ability to make some vocal sounds, such as "ma-ma" or "da-da." He doesn't yet connect that sound with a parent, though. 

By now, he's also able to participate in back-and-forth imitation games -- you say "boo," and he'll try to say it back. You can promote your child's sense of communication through imitating his faces and sounds -- "mirroring" him. Because you react when he makes noises and tries to say something, your baby learns the importance of language and starts to understand cause and effect. He'll begin to realise that what he says makes a difference. 

Appreciation for a full range of colours

Babies see colour from birth, but they have difficulty distinguishing similar tones such as red and orange. As a result they often prefer black and white or high-contrast colours. Between your baby's second and fourth months, colour differences become clearer, and your baby starts to distinguish similar shades. Your baby will probably begin to show a preference for bright primary colours now. Some great eye-catchers include primary-coloured mobiles (hung out of his reach), bright posters and visually striking board books.

Getting more selective about people

By four months, your baby may respond to your presence, your voice and even your facial expressions by kicking and waving his arms. 

About now, your child, who to this point probably bestowed smiles on everyone he met, is beginning to be choosy about the company he keeps. In large groups or with unfamiliar people he may need time to get comfortable. Allow for transition time with strangers or when leaving your baby with a babysitter. You may also notice that when he's safely in your arms he's interested in interacting with other people -- especially noisy, boisterous older children. 

Your newborn's development

#ariq aryan at days 14

Limbs are still curled

Your newborn baby will probably look "scrunched up", with his arms and legs not fully extended. This is normal, and his limbs will uncurl as he gets used to being outside your tummy. If he appears bowlegged, don't worry. It's part of the stretching-out process and will most likely take care of itself by the time he's five or six months old. 

By the end of the month, your baby may lift his head briefly when he's lying on his stomach and may also be able to turn it from side to side. Jerky movements give way to more fluid ones as his nervous system and muscle control mature. Still, your baby's primitive reflexes, such as sucking and chewing on his hands, remain dominant. 

Newborns are adjusting to a new world very different from the warm, safe confines of the womb, which is why so many infants take to swaddling -- being wrapped securely in a blanket. 

Ruled by his hunger

Food is the most important thing in your newborn's life, with sleep running a close second. Most newborn babies will feed every two to three hours around the clock. Sleeping patterns are equally intermittent. Most newborns sleep for a total of 16 to 17 hours in a 24-hour period, but that's usually broken up into eight or so naps. By the end of the month your baby may have developed something of a feeding and sleeping pattern, but you may not notice any real pattern for months. 

Crying is the main form of communication

Your baby doesn't have much of a personality now -- or at least what you might recognize as personality. But he's busy expressing himself the only way he knows how: crying. He spends his time moving in and out of several different states of sleepiness, quiet alertness and active alertness. 

Having undergone the trauma of birth, he's now trying to deal with an onrush of stimulation. This month your baby becomes quiet and calm when you speak to him gently and hold him upright. He may even make an "ah" sound when he hears your voice and sees your face. Most babies love to be held, caressed, kissed, stroked, massaged and carried. Touch is an important means of communicating with your baby. 

He only has eyes for you

Your baby's vision is still pretty fuzzy. Your face is the most interesting thing to him right now, followed by high-contrast items, which is why black and white toys and mobiles have been introduced. In fact, a newborn's range of vision is only 12 inches/30 centimeters or so. In other words, your baby can clearly see the face of the person holding him but not much beyond that. Studies show that babies prefer human faces to all other patterns or colors  So keep your face close to your baby's so he can study your features, and talk to him. 

Learning begins immediately

You may notice short periods of time when your newborn is quiet and alert. This is prime time for learning. Use these periods to play and talk with your baby. But if you try to interact with him and he doesn't seem receptive, he may have become sleepy or moved into a state of active alertness. 

Even this early, babies can recognize faces and gestures intuitively -- and sometimes even imitate them. Give your newborn a chance to imitate your facial expressions by putting your face close to his and sticking out your tongue or raising your eyebrows a few times. Repeat it. Then give him some time to mimic your gesture. It may take him a few minutes, or he may not do anything, but he's definitely watching you. 

Playing with your newborn

Mobiles with high-contrast patterns and picture books with strong line drawings will captivate your baby. But be alert to your baby's reactions to stimulation and interaction. While it's great to help him start learning about his world, some babies can tolerate only brief periods of interaction, or stimulation of just one sense at a time. Your baby will show you he's over-stimulated by yawning, averting his gaze, arching his back, turning his face, fussing or crying. He'll also tell you what he enjoys, and believe it or not, you'll understand his signs in no time. 


Babies find their own reflections fascinating. You can amuse him by propping up an unbreakable baby mirror at cotside for him to focus on. He won't recognize himself just yet but will watch the movement in the mirror at least some of the time. A play gym with plenty of compelling things to watch, swipe at and listen to allows your baby to practice his arm, hand and finger coordination skills -- and lying down becomes less boring. In the first few months, he won't move his arms purposefully to really try and reach particular objects -- this sort of movement comes later, in month four or five. 

Is my baby developing normally?

Remember, each baby is unique and meets physical milestones at his or her own pace. These are simply guidelines to what your baby has the potential to accomplish -- if not right now, then shortly. 

And if your baby was born prematurely, you'll probably find that he'll need time before he can do the same things as other children his chronological age. That's why most babies born prematurely are given two ages by their pediatricians -- their chronological age (calculated from their birthday) and their adjusted age (calculated from their due date). You should measure your child against his adjusted age, not his chronological one. Don't worry, most doctors assess a preterm child's development from the time he should have been born and evaluate his skills accordingly. 


If you have any questions at all about your baby's development, check with your doctor. sumber [link]

Your 3-month-old's development

Holding her head steady

During this month, your baby may be able to lift her head while on her back and hold it for several minutes. If sitting with support, she may be able to hold her head steady and erect. When she's on her stomach, you might see her lifting her head and chest as if she were doing mini-pushups. You can offer encouragement by sitting in front of her and dangling a toy. 

Better arm, leg and hand coordination

Your baby can now wave her arms and kick her legs. As her hip and knee joints become more flexible, her kicks are getting stronger. And if you hold her up with her feet on the floor she should push down on her legs now. She can bring both hands together and open her fingers, though she'll probably use a closed fist to bat at dangling objects. (Of course, swatting at a toy or other object is developmental progress in itself!) Encourage her hand development by holding out a toy to see if she'll grasp it. 

Sleeping patterns getting more manageable

Starting about now, sleep-deprived parents may get some respite. By three to four months, your child's sleep patterns start to settle down. Many babies this age can even sleep through the night, though they may still wake up for the occasional feeds. 

Some children may not sleep through the night (which, for the first year, usually means just six hours at a time), for a good three to six months, so don't worry if your baby still wants to keep you up at night. 

Clear recognition of mum and dad

By three months, and probably earlier, your baby will have formed an attachment to you and be familiar with your face. Most likely she will still smile at strangers, especially when they look her straight in the eye and coo or talk to her. But she's beginning to sort out who's who in her life and definitely prefers some people to others. 

The parietal lobe, the part of the brain that governs hand-eye coordination and allows a person to recognise objects, is developing rapidly now. And the temporal lobe, which assists with hearing, language and smell, has also become more receptive and active. So when your baby hears your voice now, she may look directly at you and start gurgling or trying to talk back. 

Start reading to her now

Reading to a child, no matter how small, will pay off. It helps your baby develop an ear for the cadence of language -- in fact, varying the pitch of your voice, using accents, singing and vocalising make the aural connection between you and your baby that much more stimulating. But don't worry if she looks the other way or loses concentration -- adjust her stimulation by trying something else, or give her time to rest. Coordinate your interactions with her responses and interest. 

There are plenty of good books to read to your baby. Choose board books with large, bright pictures and simple text -- or even wordless books with pictures for you to narrate. 

But at this point you needn't be slavish to age guidelines. Books designed for older children with clear, crisp images and bright colours can captivate a baby. Or you can even read poetry originally written for adult ears. What your baby doesn't understand will nonetheless delight her because of its musicality (you'll probably be amused as well). 

Early language development

This is a sensitive time when verbal stimulation is particularly important for your baby. Seize the moment and engage her with a variety of words and sounds. Recent research links higher intelligence levels to how many words a child hears in the first year of life. This is the time to set a sound foundation. Even a trip to the pasar malam can be a chance to stimulate your child -- as you walk, point to objects and identify them by name. Your baby can't repeat these words yet, but she's storing all the information in her rapidly developing memory. 

A baby in a bilingual home will get double the language training if she regularly hears both languages spoken. If you'd like her to learn more than one language, have each parent speak to her in a different language. 

Touch becoming more sensitive

Stimulate your baby's sense of touch with materials such as fur, tissue, felt and terrycloth, or look for books that make touching a part of the reading experience. Touching, carrying and massaging your baby, along with moving her through the surrounding air when you lift her, are powerful ways to relax her and may even increase her alertness and attention span. 

Beginning to interact with others

Your child is set on "receive," drawing conclusions about the world around her. By now, she may respond to her face in the mirror by smiling (babies love looking at themselves), and she may stop sucking her thumb or pacifier to listen to your voice. By cooing or making noises at her, and by describing even the most mundane household chore, you're not only connecting with her but also encouraging her to express herself. 

Even with others, your baby is becoming more animated and engaging -- flashing smiles, oohing and cooing. The fun has really begun. When you're with friends, keep her nearby so she can hear the richness of human interaction.

Your 2-month-old's development

The first real smiles

This month all your efforts will be rewarded with beaming, toothless baby smiles. The first genuine smiles are certainly among parenting's most heartwarming milestones. In a sense it's payback time. You've been diaper changing, feeding, bathing, kissing and cuddling without much response from your little bundle of joy. But one day, it happens: Your baby smiles, and you're certain he wasn't just passing wind. This will probably delight you, even if you've just had your worst night yet. 

For Rob, that first smile from his six-week-old daughter Holly brought tears to his eyes. "It was a lousy day at work," he recalls. "I was sleep-deprived and the traffic that day was terrible. When I finally got home and my wife handed me the baby, who looked straight at me and smiled this gorgeous all-gums grin, I remember thinking, 'She knows me' -- and nothing else mattered." 
(Meanwhile, tell us when your baby smiled for the first time and see what others have to say!) 

A growing preference for complex designs

By two months of age, a baby begins to move beyond his early preferences for two-colour objects toward more detailed and complicated designs, colours and shapes. Let your baby look at and touch a wider variety of objects now -- good choices include plastic toys and soft balls. 

Sleeping for longer chunks of time

If your baby is sleeping through the night now you're one of the lucky few. Most babies will still want a middle-of-the-night feed at two months, or even a couple of feeds. But the good news is, he should be sleeping for longer stretches and staying awake for longer periods of time. Most two-month-olds have two to four long sleep periods. 

Movements less jerky

He will now be coordinating his movements better. You'll notice that the jerky arm and leg movements of his newborn days have given way to smoother, more circular motions. Your two-month-old is also able to grab objects voluntarily now, though letting go comes later. In the early days grabbing was mostly involuntary and instinctive.
