3The Babys Adaptation to Labor and
DeliveryNewborns appearance
4The Newborn Baby
- Newborn are called Neonate.
- First four weeks of life (neonatal period)
- A time of transition from the uterus, where a
fetus is supported entirely by the mother ? to
an independent existence. - When neonate are first born
- Covered by fluid from amniotic sac
- Blood from placenta
- Brownish fluid from own faeces.
- Covered with lanugo (fuzzy prenatal hair)
- Covered with vernix caseosa (cheesy varnish)
5 The Newborn Baby
- Size and Appearance
- New babies have distinctive feature? a large head
and a receding chin - On the head ? Fontanels (the soft spots)
- Newborns have a pinkish cast ? skin so thin that
it barely covers the capillaries through which
blood flows. - Boys tend to be slightly longer and heavier than
girls, and a firstborn child is likely to weigh
less at birth than laterborns - Weight 2.8 -3.2 kg
- Length 51-53 cm (Boy gt girl)
- Head Circumference 30-33 cm
- Breathing
- Initially ?fast, short irregular
- Later ? more stable with rhythm
- Blood pressure become stable in 10 days.
6 Is the Baby Healthy?
- Medical and Behavioral Screening
- Apgar Scale
- The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment
Scale - Checks are also done for any structural or
physical deformities (eg. spinal defect, cleft
palate) - Silver nitrate or tetracycline is usually
dropped into neonate eyes? to prevent from
bacterial infection while passing through birth
canal.
7 Apgar Scale
- Apgar Scale is a standard measurement of a
newborns condition - Introduced by Dr. Virginia Apgar
- Access newborn
- 1 min after birth
- 5 min after birth
- Assess
- Appearance (colour)
- Pulse (heart beat rate)
- Grimace (reflex)
- Activity (muscle tone)
- Respiration (breathing)
8APGAR SCALE

Score Above 7 (good/normal) 4 -7 average, need monitoring 3 Below need immediate attention, high risk situation Score Above 7 (good/normal) 4 -7 average, need monitoring 3 Below need immediate attention, high risk situation Score Above 7 (good/normal) 4 -7 average, need monitoring 3 Below need immediate attention, high risk situation Score Above 7 (good/normal) 4 -7 average, need monitoring 3 Below need immediate attention, high risk situation
9Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale
- The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment
Scale (NBAS) (Dr. Berry Brazelton) serves 3
purpose - As an index of neurological integrity after
birth - To predict future development
- To assesses neonates' responsiveness to their
physical and social environment - Screening done on 3rd day and repeat again
after several days.
10Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale
(NBAS)
- Test on four distinct areas
- Social behavior (interactive behaviors in the
home) - Motor behaviors (reflexes muscle activities)
- Control of physiology (babys ability to quiet
himself) - Stress response (startle reaction)
- High score ? a neurologically well developed
infant - Low score ? a sluggish infant who need help in
responding to social situations, or possible
brain damage.
11Babies In-born Reflexes
- Reflexes ? an inborn, automatic response to a
particular form of stimulation. - Full term newborns come equipped with a
variety of reflexes for use in dealing
efficiently with stimuli present in their
environment. - Some reflexes are necessary for survival (eg.
Rooting sucking reflexes) - Reflexes are probably genetic in origin
include a timing mechanism that allows them to
fade away after a period of time.
12In-born Reflexes
Reflexes Eliciting Stimulus Response Developmental duration
Babinski Gentle stroke along sole of foot (heel - toe) Toes fan out big toe reflexes Disappears by end of first year
Moro Sudden lost of support Arms extended, then brought towards each other Disappear in 6 months
Palmer Grasp Rod of finger pressed against infants palm Object grasp Disappear in 3-4 months
Rooting Object lightly brushes infants cheek Baby turns towards object and attempts to suck Disappear in 3-4 months
Sucking Insert Finger in mouth Rhythmic sucking Disappear in 3-4 months
Walking Held baby upright. Sole of feet placed on hard surface Infant step forward as if walking Disappear in 3-4 months
13Rooting
- Stroke cheek near corner of mouth or object
brushes the area - Infant respon by turning head toward stimulation
- Disappears at 3 weeks when child begins to be
able to voluntarily turn head - Helps infant find nipple
14Moro Reflex
- Hold infant horizontally on back and let head
drop slightly or produce sudden loud sound
against surface supporting infant - Infant response is to make an embracing motion by
arching back, extending legs, throwing arms
outward and then bringing them in toward the body - Disappear at 6 months
- Probably in human evolution helped baby cling to
mother
15Palmer Grasp
- Spontaneous grasp of adults finger
- Disappears at 3-4 months to allow reaching and
grasping - Prepares infant for voluntary grasping
16Tonic Neck Reflex
- Turn baby's head to one side while lying on back
- Infant responds by lying in a fencing position
with one arm extended in front of eyes on side to
which head is turned other arm is flexed - Disappears at 4 months
- May prepare infant for voluntary reaching
17 Growth And Nutrition
- PATTERNS OF GROWTH
- Children grow faster during the first years,
especially during the first few months. - This rapid growth rate tapers off during the
second and third years
18 Growth And Nutrition
- Influences on Growth
- Genes interact with environment, i.e. nutrition
and living conditions, ? general health and
well-being - Well-fed, well-cared-for children grow taller and
heavier than less well nourished and nurtured
children - Better medical care, immunization and
antibiotics?better health
19 Growth And Nutrition
- Nourishment
- Breast milk is almost always the best food for
newborns and is recommended for at least the
first 12 months - Parents can avoid obesity and cardiac problems in
themselves and in their children by adopting a
more active lifestyle for the entire family--and
to breastfeed their babies
20The Brain
- First 3 years of life is critical to babys
brain development. - Before after birth ? brain growth is
fundamental to future development. - It is estimated that about 250,000 brain cells
are form every minute in the uterus. - By birth, almost 100 billion nerve cell are
formed, but not fully develop.
21 Molding the Brain The Role of Experience
- Smiling, babbling, crawling, walking, and talking
are possible due to rapid development of the
brain, particularly the cerebral cortex
22 Molding the Brain The Role of Experience
- Early experience can have lasting effects on
emotional development and the capacity of the
central nervous system to learn and store
information - Sometimes corrective experience can make up for
past deprivation
23Infant States of Arousal
- States of arousal are different degrees of sleep
and wakefulness - Infants move in and out of 5 states throughout
the day and night - Regular sleep
- Irregular sleep
- Drowsiness
- Alert Activity
- Waking activity and crying
- Striking individual differences in daily rhythms
exist that affect parents attitudes toward and
interactions with baby.
24Perceptual Development
- (Sensory Perceptual Process)
25Early Sensory Capacities
- Touch
- Hearing
- Vision
- Taste
- Smell
26Touch and Pain
- Touch seems to be the first sense to develop
- Sensitivity to touch, pain, and temperature
change is well-developed at birth. - Pain experienced during the neonatal period may
sensitize an infant to later pain, perhaps by
affecting the neural pathways that process
painful stimuli - Reflexes reveal sensitivity to touch.
- Touch helps stimulate physical and emotional
development.
27TASTE
- Babies are born with the ability to communicate
their taste preferences to caregivers. - Infant facial expressions indicate they can
distinguish among several tastes. - Newborns' rejection of bitter tastes is probably
another survival mechanism, since many bitter
substances are toxic
28Smell
- The responsiveness of infants to the smell of
certain foods is similar to that of adults ?
showed that some odor preferences are innate. - A newborn infant is attracted to the odor of her
own mothers lactating breast ? helps to find
food source and to identify own mother? a
survival mechanism. - Newborns can identify the location of an
unpleasant odor and turn head away. - A preference for pleasant odors seems to be
learned in uterus and during the first few days
after birth
29Touch, Taste Smell
- Even newborns can smell, taste, and feel
- These skills are useful in recognizing parents
and in feeding
30Studies conducted Smell and Taste
- Lipsitt, Engen Kye (1963) Baby showed
negative response to the smell of ammonia. - Steiner Baby showed diff. facial expression
when exposed to different type of scent. - Mac Farlane (1977) Baby can differentiate
between own mothers milk and other mothers
milk. - Schmidt Beauchamp (1988) Babys ability to
smell is almost equivalent to a 3 years old
ability to smell. - Harris friends By aged 4 mths old, baby like
the taste of salt
31Hearing
- Well developed at birth
- Hearing is functional before birth? ability to
discrimination sound develops rapidly after
birth - Hearing ? key to language development? so
hearing impairments should be identified as early
as possible - Infants respond with changes in heart rate to
loud sounds (even in the womb) - Can hear wide range of sounds but are more
responsive to some than others. - Newborns prefer complex sounds such as voices and
noises to pure tones.
32Hearing
- Newborns prefer speech that is high-pitched and
expressive. - Infants hear well, though not quite as accurately
as adults - Infants hearing is best for sounds that have
pitches in the range of human speech - Infants use sound to locate objects
33Developments in Hearing
4 6 months Sense of musical phrasing
6 months Screen out sounds from non-native languages
7 9 months Recognize familiar words, natural phrasing in native language
10 months Can detect words that start with weak syllables
34Studies conductedHearing
- De Casper Fifer (1980) Baby can differentiate
mothers voices from others ? thru baby
sucking pattern. - Birnhold Benacerraf (1983) 28th week baby
showed his/her response thru facial expression. - Wertheimer (1961) Baby able to follow source
of sound thru the clicker test.
35Vision/Sight
- Vision is the least developed sense at birth
- Newborns cannot focus their eyes very well and
their visual acuity ? fineness of discrimination,
is limited - Newborns explore their environment by scanning it
for interesting sights tracking moving objects. - They cant yet discriminate colors, color vision
will improve in a couple of months. - Visual perception is poor at birth ? but improves
to 20/100 by age 6 months - Binocular vision? using both eyes to focus
- Perception of depth and distance at 4 or 5
months
36Improvements in Vision
- Brain development helps infants reach adult
levels of vision skills - 2 months Focus and color vision
- 6 months acuity, scanning tracking
- 67 months depth perception
37Steps in Pattern Perception
3 weeks Poor contrast sensitivity. Prefer large simple patterns
2 months Can detect fine-grained detail. Prefer complex patterns.
4 months Can detect patterns even if boundaries are not really present
12 months Can detect objects if two-thirds of drawing is missing
38Steps in Depth Perception
Birth 1 month Sensitivity to motion cues
2 4 months Sensitivity to binocular cues
5 12 months Sensitivity to pictorial cues. Wariness of heights
39Studies conducted Sight
- Langlois friends (1990) Babies are more
attracted to attractive and beautiful human
faces. - Fantz (1993) Babies prefer to look at pictures
of human. - Aslin (1987) 4 days old babies can
differentiate between green and red. - Babies prefer blue and red as compared to
other colors. - Gibson Walk (1960) Visual cliff experiment. 6
mth babies has already develop in-dept
perception in visual.
40Infants Scanning of Faces
41Face-like Stimuli
42Integrating Sensory Information
- By 1 month, can integrate sight and touch
- By 4 months, can integrate sight and sound
- 4- and 7-month-olds can match facial appearance
(boy or man) with sound of voice
43 Motor Development
- Maturity affect infant perceptual and motor
abilities. - Milestones of Motor Development
- Babies first learn simple skills and then combine
them into increasingly complex systems of action - Week 1 Motor ability progress
- Month 1 Chin lift
- Month 2 Reach for object
44Motor Development
- Newborn are not able to control their body
movement ? no coordination. - Most movements are due to inborn reflexes
(rooting, moro, palmer grasp etc) - Humans begin to walk later than other species,
possibly because babies' heavy heads and short
legs make balance difficult
45 Motor Development
- How Motor Development Occurs
- Maturation in Context
- According to Thelen, normal babies develop the
same skills in the same order because they are
built approximately the same way and have similar
physical challenges and needs
46 Motor Development
- Cultural Influences on Motor Development
- Chances to explore their surroundings? motor
development likely to be normal - Some cultures actively encourage early
development of motor skills
47 Motor Development
- Training Motor Skills Experimentally
- Gesell concluded that children perform certain
activities when they are ready, and training
gives no advantage - Interaction of biology and environment are
involved in infant motor development
48Social development
- Baby's ability to interact with other people
- Develops thru regular interaction with babies,
- Feeding
- Cleaning
- Caring/loving
- Newborn can imitate facial expression.
