Infancy Flashcards
Objectives
Identify key development milestones of the newborn through late infancy
-Birth to 12mths
-Slight overlap with neonate (birth to 4wks)
-Rapid physical growth
By end of year….
-Manipulation of objects
-locomotion
-Rapid maturation
-Quite a bit of the CNS
Infancy
Increase in length by 50% or greater
-Fig 4.1, p93- good pictures of growth
Height
Typically, birth weight triples by end of first
year

Weight
HR @ birth- 120 to 140 bpm/ at 1 yr.- 80 to 100 bpm
BP @ birth- 80/55; at 1 yr.- 95-100/55.
Vital Signs
- Early Infancy
- Middle Infancy
- Late Infancy
- Infancy Transition
Subdivision of the 1st year in 4 time frames
Birth to 3mths
Early Infancy
4-6mths
Middle Infancy
7-9mths
Late Infancy
10-12mths
Infancy Transition
Each time frame looks at:
Gross Motor Fine Motor Oral-Motor Cognitive-Language Personal-Social
-Lifts head in prone 45 degrees (1-2mths) 90 degrees (2-3mths) -Total head lag in pull-to-sit (NB) Decrease in head leg (1-3mths)
Gross Motor
