infants

Infants are young children from birth to around one year old, a period marked by rapid growth and development. During this stage, they rely entirely on caregivers for nourishment, protection, and learning basic skills such as motor movements, language, and social interaction. Infants experience significant physical changes, like gaining weight, developing motor skills, and beginning to recognize familiar people and objects. Their behaviors are driven by innate reflexes and curiosity, laying the foundation for future cognitive, emotional, and physical development. This stage is critical for establishing secure attachments and supporting healthy growth trajectories.
