A child is able at 10. The tenth month of a child's life: bathing, hardening, physical exercises. The child stops breathing

A baby at the age of ten months is becoming more and more active, and that's it. free time devotes to the study of the world around him, constantly improves his skills and acquires new skills. When you have a child of 10 months in front of you, his development takes on a new round, his individuality is already beginning to appear, independence is born. It is already difficult for him to interfere when he is busy with his games or business, any attempt to do this can cause resentment.

If we talk about physical parameters, then by ten months the baby has about 6 teeth (four at the top and two at the bottom). The increase in height in a child for the tenth month of life is about 1.5 centimeters, and weight - up to 500 grams. Body weight gain faster less active kids, mobile children add no more than 300 grams.

Features of the daily routine

If you look at the daily routine recommended by experts for a child of 10 months, you can see that it differs little from the regime nine month old baby. It includes five meals, two walks, four hours of wakefulness and two daily naps. And if earlier some babies slept three times a day, by this time almost no one wants to sleep for so long.

The diet, rest and wakefulness should be observed because the baby needs a sufficient amount of rest and rational nutrition. Be sure to observe stability in the implementation of the regime, but taking into account individual characteristics baby. This will help not only him, but also reliably provide mom with the opportunity to get enough sleep at night and have free time.

Skills at ten months

What should a 10 month old baby know? As already mentioned, he has many skills, and already acquired skills are improved:

  1. The little man not only quickly sits down and feels confident in this position.
  2. He stands firmly, while holding on to the support with only one handle.
  3. If the baby suddenly sees an interesting toy for himself, then being distracted by it, he can throw a support, but then quickly grabs it again or sits down.
  4. If he is given a chair, then he is able to move around by holding on to it and pushing in front. In some cases, he walks holding onto the wall, and sometimes he already moves on his own legs completely independently, but since the coordination at ten months is imperfect, it is not recommended to leave him alone.
  5. Of the completely new achievements is the ability of a child to climb two or three steps up. It is still difficult for him to go down, and he will have such a skill a little later.

If the child is 10 months old and does not walk, then you should not worry too much about this. We must never forget that every person is an individual from birth, and has his own developmental characteristics. The absence of such a skill as walking by this time is not a deviation with other normal indicators.

Socialization

The little one is trying her best to be like an adult. At the age of ten months, it can already be taught to eat normally with a spoon, and drink from a glass or cup. He may already ask to be emptied if necessary. bladder or intestines, per pot.

With pleasure, the child performs the simplest instructions of the parents. Therefore, as a game for a child of 10 months, you can invite him to bring this or that toy or object. It is recommended to allow him to make a choice in clothes that are intended for a walk in order to educate him in independence.

The kid can now pretty much get carried away with his own business, and perhaps, at this moment, wet himself. This should not cause criticism from parents and is not a cause for concern. Many mothers may have a question about how to teach 10 month old baby to the pot? The most important thing is to gradually accustom him to accuracy, cleanliness and attentiveness, but not by shouting.

Most experts in pediatrics believe that the baby should be planted on the potty only when he is already able to control his body in its natural functions. At normal development this happens only after a year, and in some cases, parents should start planting only at three years old, since babies all develop in different ways.

Socialization is also manifested in the fact that a small person shows a sincere desire to communicate and play with other children. But in the absence of such a skill, it is not easy for everyone and not always, and it is necessary to provide assistance.

It often happens that the child no longer wants to walk with a pacifier. If he is still dependent on it, then in this case it is necessary to gradually wean it, since the wrong bite will form.


emotional sphere

does not stand still and emotional sphere, and the child already declares itself not only in the form of screaming or crying:

  • he well understands prohibitions and refusals;
  • tries to play disobedient;
  • can laugh at some jokes and at himself;
  • gets upset when he is forced to do "boring" things - sleep, eat or dress for a walk, and in this case the task of parents becomes to turn an unpleasant procedure into a game, or to distract the baby.

Games

Games for babies 10 months are becoming more meaningful, now they need some kind of story. The child begins to perceive the doll and rock it. The assembly of cubes or pyramids is quite successful (not without the participation and help of an adult). It also becomes interesting for the baby to roll the car and the ball. He knows how to lift small objects and put them in containers in the form of a basin or a children's bucket.

The game of hide and seek becomes more interesting, and now the baby is able to hide behind a chair or corner of the room on his own, and expresses delight when he “cannot be found”, and then, after a while, they find him and are surprised. A big role in the further development of the sense of tact and motor skills of playing in the palms.

Fine motor skills can be improved by drawing, sculpting, or picking up small objects. Since a child at this age continues to taste all objects, when handling him with small toys and things necessarily the presence of an adult.

Speech skills

A child's skills at 10 months also include improving speaking skills. At this age, the arsenal of words increases markedly. He constantly repeats the syllables denoting the people closest to him: “ma”, “pa”, but at the same time he listens very much to adults and tries to speak more complex words. Therefore, when he needs something, a small person can demand by saying the word “give” or “on”. In the latter case, he simply repeats after the adult when he gives the baby a toy or an object of interest to him.

For communication, many toddlers at this age invent new language which allows him to communicate. Despite the fact that it is difficult to understand him, you should not interrupt the child, you need to let him say whatever he wants. You need to answer him in the same intonation as if it were a completely adult person. This will help you not to lose contact with your son or daughter in adolescence in the future.

Massage and exercise

It is very important to do gymnastics with the baby and perform certain types of movements, first lying down, and then sitting and standing, combining them with a relaxing massage.

  1. The baby lies on his back, and his mother takes his hands and spreads them apart, and then crosses them on his chest.
  2. The boxing exercise consists in giving the child a ringlet in each handle, and then pulling them in turn towards you. After that, you need to massage his hands a little.
  3. For the legs, the exercise "bike" is performed. After it, you need to do stroking movements of the legs in the direction from the bottom up.
  4. Turns. With the help of mom, you need to turn the baby from the back to the tummy through the left, and then the right side.
  5. When a child is 10 months old, massage is carried out not only on the limbs, but also with the capture of the buttocks and back. First you need to carry out stroking movements up and down, then with the help of fingertips rub the skin in this area a little, and then do the same, but using the back of the fingers. It is useful to walk along the buttocks with light pinching movements.
  6. We raise our legs. They should be straight at the knees. To do this, you need to take a stick, and holding it at a certain level, ask the baby to get it with his legs. This will strengthen the abdominal muscles.
  7. The next movement is a squat. It is done with the support of an adult with both hands. And in the future we complicate the movement by giving only one hand, but it is recommended to do this only after the child begins to stand up confidently.
  8. It is useful to make inclinations several times. The kid becomes his back to the adult and is fixed with the help of his knees. After that, bends down at the request of the mother or father for an object lying on the floor.
  9. Crawling is also helpful. Even if the baby is already confidently standing, it is necessary to interest him in performing such a movement, as this will allow him to strengthen his muscles well. You can do crawling together with an adult in a race.
  10. Walking with holding the baby with both hands. It should be gradually complicated by doing squats, tilts, and also turns. After the child begins to perform all movements confidently, you can do the same movements, but only holding on to one mother's hand. This will not only increase muscle strength, but also keep the body in balance.
  11. By 10 months, you can begin to make a "bridge". H only under the condition of ease of its implementation and with the active support of an adult.
  12. It is useful to lay the baby on the tummy and ask him to sort out the handles (to be like hands), and at the same time hold him by the legs. To increase interest in the task, you can put the toy on the floor and ask him to get to it. This exercise helps to strengthen the musculoskeletal system and develops the entire muscular system.

All exercises can be performed lying down, sitting or standing with support. In the course of the lesson, you should constantly give commands to the child, pronouncing them in a soft tone and legibly. At the same time, the muscles should be strengthened not only in order to prepare for future confident walking, but also so that the baby can sit freely for a long time.

Purposeful exercises in combination with a speech command allow you to develop conditioned reflex movements, improve coordination and a clearer understanding of calls and requests.

You should not engage with the baby if he does not feel well or shows irritation. You need to start with minimum quantity repetitions (no more than 2-4 times).

It is also important to continue caring for the baby for 10 months in the form of daily hygiene procedures(bathing, cutting nails, cleaning ears, combing, etc.).
