Baby
Introduction
A baby is a young human being from birth to approximately one year of age. This period of life is
marked by rapid growth and development, both physically and mentally. Babies are entirely
dependent on their caregivers for their basic needs, including food, shelter, and emotional support.
Physical Development
• Growth: Babies experience rapid growth in the first year of life, gaining weight and increasing
in length.
• Motor Skills: They develop gross motor skills (such as rolling over, sitting up, and crawling) and
fine motor skills (such as reaching, grasping, and manipulating objects).
• Sensory Development: Babies explore the world through their senses, developing sight,
hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
