Chapter 3 Flashcards
Active alert
Series of frequent body and facial movements, irregular breathing and open eyes
Active sleep
State of rapid eye movement body and facial twitches and a regular breathing
Crying
State of jerky movements facial color changes muscle tension and rapid breathing
Disengagement cues
Cues to communicate with the infant wants to change an activity circumstances or environment
Drowsy
State of variable body movement irregular breathing glazed eyes and delayed reaction time
Engagement cues
Cues to communicate the infant desire to interact play or feed
Infant behavioral states
Group of behaviors that occur together including degree and nature of body movement eye movement respirations and responsiveness
Quiet alert
Estate of little body movement open eyes and steady regular breathing
Quiet sleep
State a very little body or facial movements except occasional burst of sucking
Regulation entrainment, structure touch (REST)
An intervention associated with reduced daily crying and parental stress during early infancy
Repetition to soothe
Interventions such as stroking, walking, or speaking softly to infants using the same repeated words or phrases used to come infants
Self – soothing behaviors
Bringing hand to mouth and sucking
Sudden unexplained infant death (SUID)
The sudden death of an infant less than one year of age they cannot be explained after a thorough investigation has occurred
Six infant behavioral states
- Crying infants have jerky movement facial color changes muscle tension and rapid breathing do not shed tears (no tears until 2 to 4 months of age). Sometimes hard for early babies to be soothed
- Active alert state have moderate to frequent body and facial movements sometimes fussy and sensitive to stimuli common before feeding
- Quiet alert state with little body movement eyes open with regular breathing highly responsive best state for interaction and play. Difficult for newborns to maintain the state entire easily
- Drowsy infants variable body movement irregular breathing glazed eyes may open and close eyes limited interest in interactions
- Active sleep characterized by rabbit eye movement body and facial twit twitches can be awakened easily while dreaming
- Quiet sleep with little buddy or facial movements except occasional bursa sac in May start off with movement or loud noises but typically do not wake
Regulate behavioural state
Hard for newbors to do
As soon as can will self soothe (bring hand to mouth)
Variety to waken: process of trying different positions, touch or sounds to wake - can be hard if baby was stressed during birth or medications
Variety to weaken
Variety to waken: process of trying different positions, touch or sounds to wake - can be hard if baby was stressed during birth or medications
Repetition to soothe
Babies overstimulated or distress respond well to sustained low level repetitive stimulation. Stroking rocking or speaking softly to infants repeating the same words or sound can calm them
Engagement cues
Desired interact play or feed. Examples relax face, smooth body movements, smiling and feeding cues
Disengagement cues
When need a change in activity, circumstances or environment. Turning or arching away when overwhelmed, pushing away crying, Steph hands and arms, grimacing, Yanny or fall asleep
Feeding cues
Clenching fingers and fist over chest and tummy, flexing arms and legs, mouthing or rooting, quickening breathing, sucking noises and motions
Satiation
Extend arms and legs turn or push away from the breast, arch back, slow or stop sucking, or fall asleep. If happens early and feed and infant not gaining enough weight further evaluation of milk transfer is warranted
Modified cues
Healthy full-term infant can modify kids both my caregiver responsiveness and overtime is infants motor control and communication skills improve. When caregiver not responsive these kids are over written, infants ability to self regulate intake maybe compromise leading to pour weight gain or obesity
Crying as communication
Common and normal part of infancy. Powerful way to communicate to stress and to drive caregiver activity. Cry for many reasons the many caregivers believe their infants cry mainly for food. May lead to weaning too soon from breast. Cry when uncomfortable needing to be burped or sick or hungry. May cry when need to change your environment when overstimulated or too many new faces. Many quiet time to be close to parent or break from stimulation.
Response to crime
Respond quickly crying may be minimized. And past excessive crime was referred to as colic. Colic highly subjective and cultural norms. Persistent crying is rarely associated with an organic cause. May be associated with dysfunctional patterns of interactions with caregivers. Often thought to be related to G.I. issues but rarely supported
Repetitive, sustain stimuli to reduce crime
Use assist repetition to soothe such as rocking, singing, or stroking may reduce infants level of stimulation and calm. Carrying is particularly effective for calming infant
Active sleep
Dreaming occurs during active sleep, resulting and rapid eye movement, body and facial twitches and a regular breathing
Blood flow to the brain is increased and neuororesponses in brain increase
Easily awakened during active sleep may be important to prevent SIDS
Quiet sleep
Exhibit little body or facial movement other than short burst of sucking and startle responses. Breathing regular. More difficult to rouse. Sleep deeply and can resist environmental stimuli. Restorative state. Plays role in memory development.
