STAGES OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT AT BIRTH
A. Size 1. Characterized by: • • • • • •
Average weight = 7.5 lbs Average height = 19.5 in. Male infants are slightly larger than female infants. Heavy infants lose more weight and for a longer time than light infants. First-born infants generally lose less than those born later. Infants born summer and autumn regain their birth weight slightly sooner than those born in winter and spring. Second or later-born infants can be fed sooner than first born , and boys earlier than girls.
2. Factors that affect the variability in birth size
•Matern al Diet
• Econom ic Status
• Ordin al Position
• Fetal Activity
B. Physical Proportions
1. Physical Characteristics: • The infants head is ¼ of the entire body length • The ratio between the cranium and the face is 8:1 • The infant’s face is broad and short because of lack of teeth, the undeveloped condition of the jaws, and the flatness of the nose. • The arms, legs and trunk are smaller in relation of the head • The abdominal region of the trunk is
C. Infantile Features • The eyes are bluish gray but change gradually to whatever permanent color will be. • Tear glands are inactive so crying is not accompanied by tears. • The neck is short and the skin has deep folds. • Muscles and bones are soft, small and uncontrolled. • Flesh is firm and elastic, while the skin is soft and deep pink in color. • Sometimes a soft growth of hair is found on the body, mostly on the back, but it soon disappears. • Once in every 2,000 births, the infant is born with one or two teeth.
D. Physiological Functions • The basal pulse rate of the infant at birth is from 130-150 beats per minute. • Breathing is rapid, irregular and abdominal in type. • The heart is small and needs a rapid beating to maintain the normal blood pressure. • There are 8.6 feedings during the first six days of life. • Defecation occurs most frequently during the first half hour after feeding. • Voidings in a 24-hour period averages 18.6 times. • Newborn infants sleep from 15-20 hours daily. • The infants is weakened by hunger, pain and internal source of discomfort.
