Development of Babies at 45 Weeks

Development of babies aged 45 weeks

What should be the development of a baby on week 45?

The words and sounds that sounded like words were now coming out from the baby's mouth, and he could use them meaningfully. Because the baby's brain continues to grow, his ability to speak also increases.

In the first week of the 12th month, babies can:

• Sitting from the prone position
• Take small objects with thumbs and fingers. As always, keep dangerous objects out of reach of babies
• Understand "no", but not always obey it

At this age, babies may be able to mimic sounds and words. He may be able to follow a simple one-step direction, such as "Bring a ball for me" or "Bring me a spoon". Help him learn by separating multistep commands into separate steps that are easy to follow, helping him with movement.

Health for babies aged 45 weeks

What do I need to discuss with the doctor on week 45?

Most doctors don't check babies this month because babies at this age are not happy to be held during a visit. Babies who are afraid of strangers may also not like doctors, even though that includes warm and friendly. Contact your doctor if there are problems that cannot be waited until the next visit.

Take care of a baby aged 45 weeks

Babies can now walk. You may notice that your legs are not straight. The knee may look as if they are fused. This is called bent legs. You don't need to worry too much. Babies will become more active and used to walking and running. The legs will be straight on their own. Below is some useful information:

Crooked legs

Do not worry. Even the most famous supermodels in the world may walk with their legs bent while still babies. Almost all children have bent legs during the first two years. Then, because they walk more often, their knees meet, but not the ankle. Their knees and ankles will not be normal until they reach adolescence. Special shoes or orthotics are not needed and will not make a difference in growth at this age.

Every now and then you will be aware of the actual leg abnormalities of the child. Maybe only one leg is bent, or one knee is bent inward, or only the baby's knee meets, or a normal bend becomes clearer when it starts walking. In most cases, or if in a family there is a history of crooked or knee legs that collide while walking, the baby may need more in-depth evaluation by a pediatrician or orthopedist. Depending on the case, treatment may be needed. You also need to know about rickets, which were the most common causes of permanent bent legs. Give bone-strengthening formulas such as milk and other dairy products that contain vitamin D.

Fall down

This is an age where many parents are afraid that their baby will be seriously injured. Lips that are torn, bruised eyes, lumps, bumps, bruises, etc. can be experienced by the baby. And this is actually a good thing, because this is the only way for babies to learn to do everything themselves.

Some children learn to be careful fairly quickly. After stumbling near the coffee table, they will stay away from the table for several days and walk more carefully again. Others (who might always be happy to take risks, so parents feel irritated) seem to never be careful, never be afraid, not feel sick, so 5 minutes after tripping, they will rise only to stumble again.

Learning to walk is a matter of trial and error. You cannot, and cannot try, interfere in this learning process. Your role, more than just a proud, nervous audience, is to ensure that the baby falls safely. Installing a carpet can reduce the possibility of bruising. Hit the end of the sofa might make the baby cry, but hit the edge of a sharp glass table might make it bleed. To reduce the chance of getting a serious injury, make sure your home is safe for babies. Even if you have removed almost all dangerous objects from the baby's path, remember that the most effective security feature is to have someone who keeps an eye on your child no matter what he does.

Even the safest house can cause serious injuries. Get ready for this possibility by knowing what you have to do if something bad happens. Learn how to provide respiratory assistance (resuscitation), and complete and learn first aid procedures.

Parental reactions often influence the baby's response to accidents. If every child falls there is one or more adults who panic and immediately help him, saying "Are you okay?" With a worried face and full of panic, the child may react to them and cry even though he doesn't feel too sick. This also makes him too careful and does not want to adventure again. On the other hand, if the reaction of an adult is calmly saying "Oh, you fell. It is okay. Let's stand again, "the child will rise again.
