Question #1:
How does your baby's eating, sleeping and motor development compare to the typical patterns in the first 8 months? On May 16th, at 11:26 a.m. our beautiful baby girl Lila was delivered via C-section. We were told that she had an Apgar score of 7-8 (virtual child). Because her score is between 7 and 10 she is in the range of good to excellent standing in regards to appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration (Arnett, p. 107). Because the first year of an infant’s life is when the most growth takes place, my partner and I kept a close eye on Lila’s eating, sleeping, and motor development (Arnett, p. 135). My partner and I decided that breast-feeding, along with using a breast pump, was the best option for Lila and us because it can help with disease protection, cognitive development, reduced obesity, and overall better health (Arnett, p. 118).

Is your child developing at a typical or atypical rate?
My partner and I know about the three different types of crying that include fussing, angry cry, and pain cry, and when we first brought Lila home we had to determine which cry she was utilizing (Arnett, p. 122). Throughout the first 18 months she communicated what she needed and my partner and I responded accordingly. She began with crying, and ended with two words sentences at the end of her 18th month.
When we first brought Lila home she would rhythmically cry when she was hungry, cold, or needed a changing, and we responded to her cries appropriately (virtual child). When she was around 3 months old she would make “ooo” sounds, which was typical because babies usually make cooing sounds like these around 2 months old (Arnett, p. 163). When Lila couldn’t be calmed down, my partner and I would take her for walks in the stroller or soothing car
