The kid was just born. He is such small. But he is already able to do something. All mothers think differently. Someone considers that the newborn is only able to eat, and someone says that the kid already understands a lot of things.
Development of the child
In fact, of course, the child is small, but he not the car only to eat, sleep and delete waste. In mother's stomach at the child sense organs begin to be formed: sight, sense of smell, hearing, taste, muscle sense and touch.

Having sharply waved own hand, the kid can be frightened. Kids about one year often are afraid of glaring and bright light. It is connected with a weak cover of an eye and inability to keep strong bright light. The baby after 3 months is able to distinguish all colors as the adult.
Sight. Let does not frighten you that eyes of the child are mown. Movement of eyes yet not coordinate. Approximately on 3-4 week of life the baby will learn to focus a look on a certain subject. At such age he well sees everything in 20 cm from it. When feeding by a breast the baby with interest considers and studies the face of mom which just is at distance in 20 cm. Hearing. Hearing of the newborn is reduced the first 2 weeks since the ear is filled not with air, but liquid. To distinguish voices of mom and dad, music and other noise, the child begins on 3-4 week of life. To distinguish from what party the sound and the kid will learn to turn on it only on the 2nd month. Children after half a year can begin to be afraid of foreign people and loud sounds. Such behavior is proved by their affection for dear people and fear before others and unknown. Taste. The newborn distinguishes sweet, salty and bitter food. He with pleasure drinks the sweetened water and cries when something salty gets into a mouth or bitter. Sense of smell. Since the birth the kid distinguishes pleasant and unpleasant smells. It very much likes a smell of maternal milk. Touch. A face, soles and palms - the most sensitive places on a body. The baby likes gentle stroking and at all swaddling, undressing and clothing is not pleasant. Muscle sense or position of a body in space. Thanks to this sense organ the child will learn to be enough a toy, to turn over on a stomach and a back, to sit down, to creep and then and to go. By means of muscle sense he will learn to move with language, lips, fingers. But to all this to the newborn it is still far. So far he cannot even if wants, unclench a cam, to straighten hands and legs. Legs and handles are in a hyper tone, i.e. the tone of muscles is raised. A hyper tone at the child about one month - it is normal.
