Question
Before the baby is born, I want to understand the general rules of children’s growth and development.
Answer
The growth and development of babies is divided into the neonatal period, infancy, and toddlerhood. Generally speaking, by three months old, babies can laugh out loud and turn over independently. By six months old, they can sit up alone and begin to communicate with sounds. Around seven or eight months old, they usually start to crawl. By about one year old, babies can stand up independently and start to learn to speak. These timelines are just rough guidelines; actual development times can vary due to individual differences and are influenced by feeding and educational methods.
