The Baby wary Growth

TEMPO Interactive, Up to 3 years, Aditya was also able to speak. The boy was rarely voiced. If voiced, he still make a sound like babies aged 6 months. His father, Kisman, 45, suspect there is something wrong with his second son was. "And his age already speak fluently," he said.
Residents of Yogyakarta was then checked his son to the doctor. Because do not get satisfactory answers, he several times instead of a specialist. Apparently there are infections that interfere with the vocal cords and channels to her brain. "When he knew, we were already late," he said regretfully. Now the 11-year-old Aditya. He could only say a few vocabulary.
Indeed, according to a pediatrician, Ahmad Suryawan, Sp A (K), no guide development of the child that may become standard if it is normal or not. "Usually the parents have to compare her with the child's age," said the staff of Growth Division of the Department of Child Health, Dr Soetomo, Surabaya, this.Unfortunately, children are used as a comparison of normal is not necessarily too late so that parents often know their children's growth. "There is a gap between the state of knowledge of children and parents," he said.
According to Ahmad, the baby's brain begins to grow after three weeks of pregnancy. At birth, brain weight of a quarter of the adult brain, and already has 100 billion brain cells (neurons). Between cells that are connected by the network (synapses). The numbers there are 50 trillion synapses. At age 1 month, the network reached 1,000 trillion synapses grow.
The speed of the brain think this depends on the number of synapses. New synapses will be formed and strengthened if the child gets stimulation (stimulation), such as hearing, seeing, and imitate, and it is done repeatedly. So the stimulation could with sound, movement, music, talk, read, and others. If not used, the synapse will die or be reduced in number and make the reduced speed of thinking involved.
Stimulation should be done as early as possible. Because the optimal brain development only until the age of 6 years. "Ninety-five percent of human brain development occurs before age 6 years," said Ahmad. So this period is called the critical period or precarious. If there is interference in this period, will result in permanent disorder and difficult to cure.
Adit case, for example. Although unknown at the age of five, it was already late, and eventually became a permanent disorder.
Ahmad explained that the peak of the baby's brain development occurs early in life. At the age of 3-6 months, the function of seeing and hearing experience peak. The result of hearing and eyesight of the surrounding environment will be used for speech. At the age of 8 months, turn the function of speech and language to reach the summit. "The four functions are halted its development at the age of 6 years."
The cognitive function and intelligence reaches its peak at the age of 3 years. "The function begins to decline until the age of 15 years," Ahmad continued. In addition to requiring stimulation, brain development should be supported nutrition. "Nutrition and the stimulation of one unit."Nutrients that help in the development of the child, according to Dr. Iwan Surjadi Handoko, are Choline,-AA DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, arachidonic acid), alpha-lactalbumin, and essential fatty acids (Omega 3 and Omega 6). Choline is an essential nutrient, one member of the B vitamins are water soluble. Point to the growth of brain and spinal cord. "Breast milk is a good source of choline," said Business Development Manager Kalbe Nutritionals is.
DHA-AA function for brain development and eyesight. The Alpha-lactalbumin is the dominant protein found in breast milk reaches 30 percent of the total protein, whereas only 5 per cent cow's milk. "With the combination of stimulation and adequate nutrition, it is hoped the children would grow up with good, healthy, and normal."
