Pregnancy and childbirth, pregnancy calendar, birth of the child, development of the child, health of children.

The baby who long time for you remained newborn gentle creation though the period novorozhdennosti comes to an end with the first month of a life, already starts to receive other status, showing all new and new abilities. You realise, that the kid grows, and it is shown not only in increase in weight of a body, but also in impellent habits, dialogue, its own perception of environment. The new person, the person is formed. And one of the major roles in formation of this person is taken away to you …

Look narrowly more attentively at hair of the kid. At this age new colour and quality of hair is pawned. Probably, you have not noticed, that within several last weeks the kid loses primary volosiki (gentle, thin, often curly) with which he was born, and at the same time the new grow. This process will last month or and two. Colour of eyes also changes. If the child was born with blue eyes right now you will notice, that they darken, and in due course your kid becomes brown-eyed or brown-eyed, - as well as you. Only when blue colour of eyes will remain about six months, can hope, that it - for ever.

The kids who were born at swarty brown-eyed parents, mainly have light brown colour of eyes. But when the child reaches four-monthly age, his eyes become dark, as at parents.

Physical development

Certainly, the kid continues to type in weight. If you have a possibility to supervise weight gain every week it should make 140-170 Throughout all fourth month of a life of the child weight increases for 600-750 Though do not forget, that these indicators are only rough norms. Each baby has, programmed by the nature, rates of increase in weight. The length of a body increases approximately on 2-2,5 the Body gradually, to the extent of improvement and development of muscles see, gets strong, generated for the baby, a kind.

Impellent activity

Towards the end of the fourth month the kid already confidently manipulates the head. It long time keeps it, laying on a stomach. And in position on a back easily lifts a head, touching, a chin to a breast "more carefully" to consider the of a foot. Besides, the kid with readiness twists a head extensively, watching for the surrounding.

If last month there were no successful attempts to turn over from a back on a stomach or on the contrary within this month the kid is capable to learn to carry out this exercise. And, laying on a stomach, the child is already capable to lean against a forearm of both hands and does attempt to shift deduction of the thorax and head on one hand, on purpose to release another that something to seize.

Hands remain object of steadfast attention. The baby reduces handles to an average line, watches them purposeful, koordinirovannym a sight. Fingers of hands are not compressed. Coordination of movements of hands is improved. The child grasps a toy, strong holds it, drives together with a hand. Then it is casual can involuntarily miss. When the toy in a hand, the kid looks after its movements and shows satisfaction, smiling to the good luck. As before, own cams, fingers or a rattle "are necessarily tasted" on taste.

During this period active movements by legs - "bicycle" become favourite exercise of the kid. Knees are still bent in a rest condition, but from time to time the child unbends them. Being engaged in gymnastics, can notice good enough mobility of legs in all joints.

If the kid to put vertically with a support for a foot, it also can bend and unbend legs, as if dancing. The majority of kids is loved very much by such employment, especially under your singing or music.

Happens, that the child on the fourth month of a life shows attempts to swimming in position on a stomach. These movements are similar on rudimentary (i.e. that disappear) swimming habits in a stomach of mother. However it not so. Look more attentively as the kid snuffles, zakashlivaetsja, groans, discontentedly mutters and even shouts from unsuccessful diligence. These are attempts to creep! As it is a pity, that in us, adults, do not suffice such resoluteness and persistence in definite purpose achievement!

Probably, the majority of you tried to plant at this age the kid. With your support it is possible. And how many satisfaction in the opinion of the kid! Notice, that the head is thus supported in vertical position independently!

In one case it is not necessary to leave the child in position sitting on long time (look as the back is thus curved by a hump!). You risk to tyre the kid or to lead to backbone deformation. Yet time to sit! Apply this element as a part of a gymnastic complex. Tighten the child for handles, in position sitting, then slowly lower.

Often at movements of handles and legs in joints (knee and elbow) it is possible to hear crackling. There are no bases to worry. In a month or two when muscles of a trunk, hands and feet will get stronger (with your help during employment by gymnastics and massage), these phenomena will disappear. The reason of occurrence of cracklings is functional immaturity of the articulate device which structure includes bones, suhozhilja, cartilages and muscles.

Sight and svetovosprijatie

The kid well covers a sight subjects on distance 20-30 Movements of eyeballs already koordinirovannye see. If on such distance to drive before eyes bright subjects of red, yellow, orange, light blue colour, the child will look after them in all directions: upwards, downwards, in the right party, in a left-hand side. Thus eyes should not mow any more.

Towards the end of a month your kid starts to enjoy world around in colour.

Dialogue

The child of four-monthly age pays attention to noise, shows curiosity, both to weak, and to loud sounds on intensity. It is known, that all kids of this age with readiness prefer music. Take it on arms when aspire to calm the angry child. And still your kid receives a satisfaction maximum from own sounds. He repeats their "successful" combination again and again, as if trying to remember own vocal product.

By the way, it is a lot of from such syllables later will be said is much easier as components of the present words. Original "gurgle" is gradually replaced with "giggling", and then on separate sounds "e", "and", "and", "hectares", etc.

To you that the kid loudly laughs loudly, if you will be new also, being played, will tickle it. This reaction to your "tickling" is a signal of social development. If you notice mood change, try to explain yourself it. Why the child became sleepy, apathetic or, on the contrary, angry? Can because you have limited its volume of perception! Rectify this error. During walk receive satisfaction, watching as the kid reacts to a live rose, a fur-tree branch, fresh fruit, leaflets, snow, a birdie and on many other things. You carry out extreme mission - for the first time in a life of this creation acquaint it with the world!

In the award necessarily receive a sincere smile.

The smile remains, as well as last month, the basic display of satisfaction and happiness. It becomes display of love to all who shows care and attention to the kid. Talk more to the kid, praise for each achievement, help to overcome this way of development successfully.

Dream

The dream becomes now deeper, continuous and 10-11 hours last. In the afternoon the kid sleeps two or three times: one morning and two after a dinner. In which to hour to stack the kid in a bed, depends on its individual biorhythms. You will notice it independently.

Having noticed weariness first signs, lay the child in a bed. These displays at each kid the individual. But there are some which meet at the overwhelming majority of chest children: zevanie, grinding of eyes and refusal of game happen at all children. Nevertheless, there are children who, on the contrary, become excessively active at weariness or start to suck intensively the big finger on a hand or ritmicheski to twist a head. In this situation all depends on your talent to solve "a code zasypanija" the kid.

The first tooth

Towards the end of the fourth month of a life, probably, the first will start to be cut dairy zubki though for today at the majority of chest children the first teeth appears mainly at six-monthly age. Irritability, anxiety of the kid, kusanie gums of everything that gets to a mouth, sometimes rise in temperature of a body to 38-39 degrees, a liquid chair and even a rhinitis will be teething signs. Which signs will be at your child, depends on quantity of a teeth which are cut, a maturity and perfection central and peripheral nervous systems, type of a constitution, a condition of immune system of an organism.

Two bottom central cutters appear the first, as a rule. At prorezyvanii gums in this place reddened, swelled. The kid it is angry pounds this site everything, that pulls in a mouth. Therefore during this period it is important to get a rubber ring or a figure filled inside with water. A ring put in a refrigerator, and then give to the kid. The cold calms a gum, removes an itch and a pain. In drugstores there are on sale preparations which contain anaesthetising substance which carry out tannic and anaesthetising functions in the structure, and also calm irritation of gums.

Visiting of the pediatrist

Possibly, you are already well familiar with the doctor and can find out all questions which disturb you. Remember expediency of observance of a certain mode of day, a food, keep order introductions of new products, consult concerning new toys for the kid which would be better developed its psychoemotional sphere. The pediatrist will check, whether preventive maintenance of a rickets, an anaemia is enough spent, will advise as to prepare better the child to following revaktsinatsii AKDS and a poliomyelitis - in 4,5 months.

Your kid grows, demanding from you all new and its new abilities to understand and help. But even if you not "newly made" mum, and skilled which has already senior children, do not rely on the experience in education of previous children, and constantly learn, observe, confer with the family doctor or the pediatrist. Health and the future of all your family depends on it.
