CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Healthy infants come in a range of sizes. But looking at the average growth, most babies have tripled their birth weights by the first birthday. Their heads have grown by about 4 to 5 inches (about 10 to 13 centimeters). And most babies grow about 9.5 inches (24 centimeters) longer in the first year.

Detailed explanation-2: -Typically, a baby’s weight doubles within their first 4 to 6 months of life and triples in their first year. For instance, a baby born weighing six pounds would typically weigh about 12 pounds by the time they were 6 months old and about 18 pounds by the time they turned 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -Average Baby Weight at One Year Most babies double their birth weight by five to six months of age and triple it by the time they are a year old. By one year, the average weight of a baby girl is approximately 19 pounds 10 ounces (8.9 kg), with boys weighing about 21 pounds 3 ounces (9.6 kg).

Detailed explanation-4: -Before birth, the baby’s brain size accounts for 25% of its total birth weight, but it becomes 10%of its body weight afterbirth.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the first year, babies learn to focus their vision, reach out, explore, and learn about the things that are around them. Cognitive, or brain development means the learning process of memory, language, thinking, and reasoning. Learning language is more than making sounds (“babble”), or saying “ma-ma” and “da-da”.
