Physical development

This month lives the weight of the kid increases even less, and it types on the average 650-700 g, that is on 150 g every week. In general, its weight, compared with that was at a birth, should double. Nevertheless, if your child was born "giant", twice it can reach increase in weight of a body little bit later. If, on the contrary, at a birth the kid weighed less than 3 kg doubling of weight wait about four months.

In time from a birth about five months the child grows on 13-15 growth of the kid gradually see With each next month is slowed down. One children grow, periodically accelerating rates, and then as if slowing down them. Each kid has the individual program of growth and development. We, adults, also are different: on growth, fatness, the constitution, therefore leave a priority to treat, whether enough kid types in weight and growth, to the pediatrist who will state an estimation objectively, having considered all features.

Impellent activity

In this age period the kid has expressed enough flexibility of all parts of a body. Once you will come into a room and will find the child behind exercise "airplane". Laying on a stomach, the kid tightens upwards a head, levels and plants in the parties of the handle and lifts upwards legs. The back at it thus strains and becomes a straight line or a little bit curved in the middle. If you have seen such picture, know: the kid trains independently.

Laying on a back, the kid independently carries out one more exercise - "bridge". Resting a head and stupnjami feet in a support, it lifts a basin and a trunk, as if being curved in an arch. Do not worry, after all it also original gymnastics.

More successfully turn out perevorachivanija from a back on a stomach and on the contrary. Therefore, dressing the child who lays on a table or a sofa, try to arrange it perpendicularly to edge that it has not fallen when you will turn away to take, for example, clothes.

Already in 7 o'clock in the morning (or even earlier) the kid is ready to be engaged in any business, unlike you! You absolutely, probably, would not like to be played so early! And so, it is better since evening put in a bed where the kid sleeps, one - two bright toys. Then you can longer have a sleep a little bit in the morning and, having woken up, will find the kid the playing.
