In our mother-child topic, we will examine the social, intellectual, and emotional life of the baby with its environment from the moment it is born.
As the child begins to develop, it should progress step by step through the necessary stages. Skills and behaviors should be developed, and parents should show the necessary attention and care to their child in this regard.
Experts state that problems that may arise during these periods should never be ignored and that parents should definitely consult a family doctor.
The first four weeks after birth are called the newborn period. During this period, the baby can turn its head to the right and left while lying on its stomach. Its eyes may fix on a certain point. Gas pains and crying at short intervals may be observed. It can firmly grasp an object placed in its hand. It can observe what is happening around it, people, and follow movements.
When the child is 8 weeks old, i.e., 2 months old, it can lift its head better.
It can follow moving objects with its eyes over a 180-degree angle. It can smile, slowly respond to sounds, and establish relationships with its surroundings. When it is 16 weeks old, it starts to become more active. It can lift its torso while lying down.
