doubling of his weight by 12 months and triples birth weight by 24 months. Most common milestone at age four months is they cry with tears to
communicate, responds to peek a boo games and is fond of being kindled. Nurses and
caregivers should make aware that at this stage help infants
develop a sense of trust and security by responding to their cries.
Feeling secure encourages infants to try new things. Be consistent so
that they will know what to expect.At age eight months, the infant has developed to more advanced milestone in a matter of 4 months, they begin to cry in different ways to communicate, senses are developed, explores object by touching and babbles expressively as if talking. Caregivers should be made aware that babies
should have the freedom to move around. Young infants enjoy being on their backs so
that they can kick, wiggle, and look around. At 12 months, the infant says his own words like mama or dada, pays attention to conversation, claps hand or waves goodbye if prompted. One should put in mind that one should provide an
environment rich with sound. This would help infants learn to recognize common
household sounds such as a vacuum cleaner, a radio, a clock, a
whistling tea kettle, or a doorbell.
