As we all know, the baby's brain develops fromEmbryosThe period began. The entire process of development is influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, nutrition, education, environment, nutrition and disease. Your baby's brain develops most rapidly in the first 2 years of life, and this is also the time when their brain is most compensatory and resilient. If there is some damage to the baby's brain during this period, the brain willSelf-healing, leaving no trace.
The baby's brain weighs about 380 grams at birth, which is equivalent to 25% of the brain weight. By the age of 1 year, the weight of the brain has increased to about 970 grams, which is twice as much as at birth and reaches 50% of the brain weight. At the age of 2, the weight of the brain is about 1120 grams, which has reached 75% of the brain weight. It can be seen that in the first 2 years, the baby's brain development is the most rapid.
At this stage, there may be some "signals" of abnormal brain development in the baby, and it is very important to detect and intervene in time early. The following will introduce 5 detailed signals of abnormal mental development of babies, and parents should be vigilant.
1. The baby is too noisy or quiet
In addition to crying because basic needs are not met, some babies often cry unexplained even when they meet all their needs, and no coaxing methods are effective. In addition, some babies may show weakness in suckingSpit upSevere, trembling, unresponsive to stimuli, etc. These may be signs of poor brain development in your baby.
2. The baby's eyes are dull and his visual response is not flexible
Normally, the babyVisionIn the nascent stage, they can only see near objects and their vision is blurred. However, even ifVisionNo, babies can also react to external stimuli, such as closing their eyes or turning their heads. If the baby's eye dexterity is poor and his eyes are glazed, parents should take the baby for further examination.
3. The baby's language ability is poor
Language ability is also an important indicator of the baby's development. When the baby is 8-9 months old, he can imitate some sounds, he can say some simple nouns at about 1 year old, he can express himself in sentences of more than two words at about 1 and a half years old, and he can express himself clearly at about 2 years old. If the baby's language ability is later than that of children of the same age, parents should reflect on whether to give the baby enough language stimulation and guidance, and if it is determined that the brain development is abnormal, intervention and ** should be considered in time.
4. The baby's movement and behavior ability are backward
There are certain rules for the development of baby's gross motor ability, such as raising the head, turning over, sitting, climbing, standing, walking, etc. If the baby's development is more than two months behind, such as 5 months old will not roll over, 1 year old will not be able to climb, you should take the baby to check whether it is developing normally.
5. The baby is sleepy and sleeps frequently
Babies are born sleeping most of the time, but as the activity of brain cells increases, the baby'sSleepThe time will gradually decrease. Babies around 2 years old usually only need 10-12 hours a daySleep。If the baby persistsDrowsinessSleepIf the frequency is high, it may be that the baby's brain is developing abnormally, and it needs to be checked and intervened in time.
1. Provide rich stimulation and interaction
Provide your baby with a variety of different stimuli, such as looking at pictures, listening, touching objects, etc., which can help them develop their perception and cognitive abilities. At the same time, it is necessary to interact more with the baby, and encourage the baby's language and play by talking, singing, playing, etcSocial skillsdevelopment.
2. Cultivate curiosity and a desire to explore
Encourage your baby to explore their surroundings and let them observe, explore, and experiment. Give your baby some age-appropriate closuresToysor activities, so that they can develop hand-eye coordination and logical thinking skills through touching, assembling, manipulating, etc.
3. Maintain good eating and sleeping Xi
Your baby's brain development needs adequate nutrition and rest, so give your baby a balanced dietDiet, including:Proteins, fat,Vitamins, minerals, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the baby has a good conditionSleepXi, set a regular schedule to ensure that the baby is sufficientSleep
Your baby's brain development is an ongoing and complex process that requires parental attention and guidance. By observing the baby's behavior and development, if the baby is found to have detailed signals of abnormal intellectual development, it should be checked and intervened in time. At the same time, by providing rich stimulation and interaction, cultivating curiosity and a desire to explore, keep it wellDietwithSleepXi can promote the baby's intellectual development.
