STANDING

Standing
Many babies move on to other milestones long before they master rolling. Between four months and seven months, your baby will spend time learning to sit up, using his hands to help him balance. At around five months, you can help him to stand up by gently pulling on his arms. Try to work at your baby’s pace.
Six months to 10 months
Between six months and 10 months your baby will probably start trying to pull himself up to stand while holding on to furniture. Learning how to fall is an important part of mastering standing and walking. You can see this process starting at around six months. When you’re supporting your baby in a standing position, he’ll put his arms out to save himself if he tilts off balance. A month later he will have learned to extend his arms and hands forward to help him gently fall to the ground on his front.
10 months to one year
At 10 months your baby may start to learn how to bend his knees and even sit after standing. This is harder than you may think!
Between 10 months and his first birthday your baby may be able to pull himself up to stand and sit back down with confidence. By his first birthday he may even be able to stand alone for a few moments.

HOW CAN WE ENCOURAGE BABY TO STAND?

Your baby will only stand when he feels ready to do so. However, here are some games and activities that will help to stimulate his interest and muscle development.
Get active-Exploring his environment will stimulate his natural curiosity, encouraging him to reach and grasp. Try placing colourful toys just out of reach or on top of a low table. Be sure to childproof any sharp corners.
Be your baby’s biggest fan-Lots of encouragement, clapping and smiling from you will give your baby the confidence he needs to try new things.
What is the reason if the child is not achieved standing development?
If your baby was born early (before 37 weeks of pregnancy), keep in mind that he may reach this and other milestones a little later than other babies.

Early signs of autism

Image
Early signs of autism can be easily detected in infants as young as 6-18 months, but parents have to pay attention for that. There are certain milestones for a particular age, like – no joyful expressions by 6 moths, no back and forth sharing of sounds by 9 months, no babbling by 12 moths and so on. If the child is not responding properly, than the parents need to check. Eye contact during early infancy is a key to early identification of autism. Typically developing children begin to focus on human faces within the first few hours of life and they learn to pick up social cues by paying special attention to other people’s eyes. Children with autism however do not exhibit this sort of interest in eye looking. In fact, a lack of eye contact is one of the diagnostic feature of autism. Early markers of autism are – 1.        Poor eye contact 2.        Impairments in visual tracking to an object 3.        Atypical responsiveness 4.        Less social smiling, delayed expr

HOW TO EFFECTIVELY USE SELF TALK AND PARALLEL TALK

Image
Self talk is a strategy simply means, talk about what you are doing, seeing or thinking when your child is present. In other word, narrate your actions. E.g.: “I see a doggie. Oh! a big doggie. Parallel talk is another strategy to enhance language development; talk about what your child is doing or seeing. In other words narrate what he/she is doing. E.g.:  Oh! Your tower fell down Self talk and parallel talk Overview about effectiveness When you are using self talk and parallel talk there is no requirement of your child to imitate what you are saying. These techniques give your child an exposure to language during play and daily routine. Using self-talk and parallel talk expose the child to words which bridge the gap between a child who may not realize actions, objects and feelings. But don’t expect them to repeat immediately, if they tries to imitate you should reinforce the effort of your child. You have to make sure that you are not over doing it. Use words and phrases

Developmental dysplasia of Hip

Image
Developmental Dysplasia of Hip Developmental Dysplasia of Hip(DDH) is a dislocation of a hip joint that is present at birth. Otherwise known as congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH). In DDH, the socket of the hip is too shallow and the femoral head is not held tightly in place, so the hip joint is loose. In severe cases, the femur can come out of the socket (dislocation). It’s more common in girls and a first born child. Etiology unknown, Some studies say that a low level of amniotic fluid in the womb during pregnancy can increase a baby risk of DDH, Breech presentation high birth weight Signs of DDH Restricted movement in one leg when you change their nappy One leg dragging behind the other when they crawl One leg appearing longer than the other Uneven skin folds in the buttocks or thighs A limp, walking on toe developing an abnormal gait called “waddling gait”. If DDH won’t get proper medical attention, it can cause limp, hip pain and osteoarthritis i
