1-12MonthsBabies learn and grow so quickly. By the end of this yearyour baby will have almost tripled in size. He or she willbe crawling and maybe even taking a timid first step! Tryto spend lots of time holding, cuddling, and playing withyour little one. You will be richly rewarded with babbles,smiles, and squeals of laughter.By 4 monthsPhysical development weight: 10-18 pounds length: 23-27 inches sleeps about 6 hours beforewaking during the night sleeps 14-17 hours daily lifts head and chest whenlying on stomach holds both eyes in afixed position follows a moving object orperson with eyes grasps rattle or finger wiggles and kicks with armsand legs rolls over (stomach to back) sits with supportMental development explores objects with mouth plays with fingers, hands,toes reacts to sound of voice,rattle, bell turns head toward brightcolors and lights recognizes bottle or breast Baby proof everything! Store toxic substances such as dishwasher detergent, make-up, paint, or medicine up high. Putsafety latches on cabinets, and covers on electrical outlets.Lower crib mattresses so an older infant can’t fall over therail. Cover sharp corners of tables or shelves that your infantmight bump into. Provide interesting objects for baby to mouth and explore.Square nylon scarves, plastic measuring cups, large woodenspoons, and colorful washcloths are favorite household toys.Keep easy-to-swallow objects out of infant’s reach. Babyshould not be allowed to play with anything smaller than ahalf dollar (about 1 1/4 inch). If your baby is bottle fed, be sure to hold him or her whilefeeding. Even if your baby holds the bottle, being held andcuddled helps develop a strong nurturing parent-child relationship. Do not prop an infant drinking from a bottle as itmay cause choking. Respect your baby’s natural schedule. Most babies will settleinto a regular routine for eating, sleeping, and soiling theirdiapers, but the schedule will vary depending on the baby.Some babies need to eat more frequently than others. Somewill sleep through the night early on, others will continue towake briefly well into their second year. Talk to your baby. Face your infant when talking so he orshe can see you and smile with you. Talk about what you aredoing, familiar objects, or people.

Even though your infantcannot understand everything you say, he or she will belearning many words that will form the basis for languagelater on. Read to your baby. Babies enjoy cuddling on a parent’s lap,looking at colorful picture books, and hearing the rhythm ofa parent’s voice. With time they begin to understand thatwords have meaning and can be used to identify objects. Encourage older infants to feed themselves by offeringpieces of banana and soft bread. Give your baby a spoonwith some mashed potatoes or other sticky food and let himor her practice eating with a spoon. Yes, it will be messy! Bepatient. Learning this skill takes lots of practice! Play peek-a-boo. Hide your face behind a blanket, then peekout at your baby. Older babies will learn to do this themselves and will enjoy this game for a long time. Give your baby the freedom to move around. Young infantsenjoy being on their back so they can kick, wiggle, and lookaround. Older infants need space and time to practicecrawling, creeping, pulling up, and walking. Spending toomuch time in a walker, play pen, or infant swing may inhibit the development of these important skills. Help your baby develop a sense of trust and security byresponding to baby’s cries. Feeling secure encourages yourbaby to try new things. Be consistent so your baby knowswhat to expect. Stay with your baby when someone new is around. Encourage strangers to approach slowly. Introduce your infant,and let him or her explore someone new in the safety ofyour presence.Partners in Parenting wants caregiver or parent tobe in constant sight offers toys or objects toothers, but expects them tobe returned may become attached to afavorite toy or blanket pushes away something heor she does not wantToys pictures on wall mobile of bright andcontrasting colors measuring cups crib mirror rattles that make a varietyof sounds musical toys xylophone bath toys spoons pounding bench balls of different sizes stacking rings board or cloth books large plastic cars, trucks soft, washable dolls oranimals201

12-18 MonthsThe second year is a delightful time for parents andchildren. Your baby is developing a personality andrewards your time together with laughter, funnyfaces, and affectionate hugs. First steps and firstwords are exciting family events.Physical development weight: 17-30 pounds height: 27-35 inches crawls well stands alone, sits down gestures or points to indicatewants likes to push, pull, anddump things pulls off hat, socks, andmittens turns pages in a book stacks 2 blocks likes to poke, twist, and squeeze enjoys flushing toilets andclosing doors enjoys carrying small objectswhile walking, often one in eachhand holds crayon and scribbles, butwith little control waves bye-bye and claps hands walks without help enjoys holding spoon wheneating, but experiences difficulty in getting spoon intomouth Enjoy some “floor time” with your child each day. Crawl aroundtogether, play peek-a-boo behind the sofa, or roll a ball back andforth. Your child will love having you down on his or her level. Review your baby proofing. Your child’s increasing growth andmobility make it possible to reach unsafe heights and play withdangerous material. Get down on your knees in each room andlook at things from your child’s perspective. Put toxic items likepaint, dishwashing detergent, medicine, and make-up in highcupboards, preferably with a safety cabinet latch. Put together a box of items that are fun to feel, poke, and squeeze.You might include plastic margarine tubs, an old sock, tissuepaper to crumple, measuring cups of different sizes, a turkeybaster, a nylon scarf, an egg carton, and paper cups. Choose itemslarger than a half-dollar to avoid choking hazards. Relax and have fun dancing to music with your child. Use bath time to point to some body parts and say them with yourbaby. Nose, ears, arms, legs, tummy, toes. Talk frequently to your child to increase his or her language skillsand encourage cooperation. You can make dressing time more funby pointing to and identifying body parts and clothes. For instance,“See this pretty red shirt? The shirt goes over your head. Yourarms go into the sleeves. What shall we put on your legs?” Around 18 months your child may begin clinging and become anxiousabout being separated from you. If possible, reduce separations andbe sure that your child is cared for by someone familiar. rolls a ball to adult on requestPartners in ParentingPM 1530B Revised May 2001203
