In infancy, development proceeds in an orderly fashion in brain development, physical growth, locomotion, and fine motor skills. From the ability to lift one's head, the baby progresses through stages to finally take their first steps. From the early grasp reflex the baby gradually learns to pick up small objects. This video shows these landmarks, identifies their timing and clarifies the influences of environment and culture. Both natural development and current practice help determine the experiences of breastfeeding, weaning and sleeping patterns. The understanding of early brain development brings focus to what is optimal in relationships and stimulation in the first two years.
