Development of Baby

In the process from the birth of the baby to the growth stage, the changes that it undergoes physically and functionally with the passing time are called baby development in general. This process, which begins from birth, continues until childhood. At first, there are weekly development parameters, while monthly or age tables are drawn as the baby grows up. In general, the minimum characteristics expected from the baby are indicated. But not every baby's development proceeds along the same lines. It varies according to the environment in which the baby is growing up or according to his physiological characteristics. What is indicated on the baby development chart are the movements that should be in the baby during the described period. For example, newborn babies react to opening their mouths with a sucking reflex directly when a stimulus is given to the edges of the mouth.
