Newborn Motor Skills
- The newborn infant’s motor activities are mainly reflexive. Some reflexes present at birth are sucking, yawning, gagging, swallowing, elimination, blinking, grasping, startling, and coughing.
Birth to 1 Month
- During this stage, the infant maintains a fetal position. She holds her hands in fists, and does not reach for objects. Her eyes do not always work together, and may appear crossed at times.
1 to 4 Months
- At this age, the infant begins to raise his head when he is in a prone (face-down) position. He can be pulled into a sitting position, with head support at first, and without head support toward the end of this period. He shows greater activity in his upper body: reaching for objects, clasping his hands above his face, and waving his arms about.
4 to 8 Months
- The infant begins to use the thumb and finger to pick up objects (pincer grasp). She begins to pull herself into a crawling position, but does not yet move forward. She can roll over from front to back and back to front. She will jump in place when being held in a standing position.
8 to 12 Months
- The infant reaches for objects or toys with one hand, and can transfer the object from one hand to the other. He releases objects by dropping or throwing; he cannot intentionally put things down. He creeps on hands and knees. He begins to walk with adult support.
1 Year
- The infant begins to walk on her own. She can crawl quickly and skillfully. She can sit in a small chair. She can release an object voluntarily; this becomes a game in which she repeatedly picks up and throws down an object. She attempts to run, but falls frequently.
