Rapid growth: - First year - Gain 50% in height - Grow about an inch every month - Triple in weight a. Growth slows: - Second year - Gain 75% of birth height at 2 years - Growth in spurts b. Growth spurts: Gain “baby fat” until about 9 months, then get slimmer because of crawling and walking.c. Epiphyses: Growth plates 2. Growth differences: a. Male/female: boys tend to grow taller and thicker b. Ethnic c. Individual rate: can determine if there are problems in growth - Skeletal - Growth hormones 3. Growth trendsa. Cephalo- caudal: growth from head to toe b. Proximal-distal: growth from center of body out4. General health: a. Immunizationb. Illness: - Respiratory infections - Child care- Exposure to different people c. SIDS: Sudden infant death syndrome - To prevent: infants should sleep on back, not stomach - Risk of SIDS: premature birth, winter- respiratory illness, apnea( forgetting to breath), smoking, slow maturation 5. Assessing growth and development d. Growth: physicala. Development: cognitive, emotional, social, gross motor skills.b. Regular well baby check-ups: - Check: height, weight, head size - Eating pattern - Teach parents about health and safety of children 6. Brain growth and nutrition: - Brain is 25% its adult weight at birth, and 75% at two years - Head circumference measurement produces rough estimate of brain growth- Readiness to become alert, to cry, and to self soothe correlates with intellectual
