Detailed explanation-1: -What is the near-to-far pattern of infant physical development? Infants engage in simple tasks, then gradually undertake more complex ones.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first pattern is the cephalocaudal, or head-to-tail, direction. The head end of the organism develops first and is large and complex, whereas the lower end is small and simple and takes shape at a later period.
Detailed explanation-3: -Infants physical development follows three basic patterns: Head to Foot. Near to Far. Simple to Complex.
Detailed explanation-4: -By 3 months, your baby should raise their head 90 degrees-and do mini push-ups-during tummy time. Despite these improvements, though, you’ll still need to hold your baby’s head when you cradle, feed, and play with them. Around 4 months, most babies won’t need as much head support.
