Infant to 3 Months

During your baby's first three months, there will be a lot of changes. At first, it may feel like an endless cycle of feeding, comforting and changing diapers. But soon, you'll settle into a routing and begin to delight in your baby's growth and development. Part of the wonder of parenting is watching, recognizing and reinforcing changes in your little bundle of joy.

Most babies reach certain milestones at around the same age but infant development is not an exact science. Expect your baby to grow and develop at his own unique pace. As you get to know your baby, you should look out for these general infant development milestones.

Newborns are sensitive to the way you hold, rock and feed them. By age 2 months, your baby may smile on purpose, blow bubbles and coo when you talk or gently play together. Your baby may even mimic your facial expressions. Soon your baby will reach for you when he or she needs attention, snuggling in your arms for security and comfort.

MOTOR SKILLS

  • BUDDING MOVEMENT AND COORDINATION
Your newborn's head will be wobbly at first. But within the first few months, most babies can face straight ahead while lying on their backs and lift their heads while lying on their tummies. Although newborns aren't likely to roll over, your baby may soon turn from side to back. Your baby's stretching and kicking will get more vigorous. If you offer a toy, your baby may grasp if and hold on tight for a few moments.
  • HEARING: RESPONDING TO VOICES AND OTHER SOUNDS
Within a few weeks, your baby may respond to loud noises by blinking, startling, frowning or waking from light sleep. Even everyday household sounds -- footsteps on the floor, water running -- may elicit subtle responses, such as increased limb movement or slowed sucking rhythm. Expect your baby to respond to the sound of your voice.
  • VISION: LEARNING TO FOCUS
Most newborns can focus best on objects eight to 12 inches away -- about the distance to your face during a feeding. Soon your baby will begin to examine more complex designs, along with various colors, sizes and shapes. You may notice your baby studying his or her hands and feet. By age 3 months, your baby may be easily distracted by an interesting sight or sound.

Uhaw ang Tigang na Lupa- Liwayway A. Arceo

1 Ilang gabi nang ako ang kapiling niya sa higaan. Tila musmos akong dumarama sa init ng kanyang dibdib at nikikinig sa pintig ng kanyang puso. Ngunit, patuloy akong nagtataka sa malalim na paghinga niya, sa kanyang malungkot na pagtitig sa lahat ng bagay, paghikbi... 2 Ilang araw ko nang hindi nadadalaw ang aklatan: ilang araw ko nang hindi nasasalamin ang isang larawang mahal sa akin: bilugang mukha, malapad na noo, hati-sa-kaliawang buhok, singkit na mga mata, hindi katangusang ilong, mga labing duyan ng isang ngiting puspos-kasiyahan...Sa kanya ang aking noo at mga mata. Ang aking hawas na mukha, ilong na kawangki ng tuka ng isang loro, at maninipis na labi, ay kay Ina... 3 Sa Ina ay hindi palakibo: siya ay babaing abilang at sukat ang pangungusap. Hindi niya ako inuutusan. Bihira siyang magalit sa akin at kung nagkakagayon ay maikli ang kanyang pananalita: Lumigkit ka!... At kailangang ‘di ako makita. Kailangang ‘do ko masaksihan ang kikislap na poot sa kanyang mga mata. Ka
