Default How to get to know whether a new born child is normal? - 01-03-2009, 10:44 AM

In how many days we get to know that the new born child is normal? If he can cry, then we will know that he can speak.What about hearing and other senses?

'Normal'any child id never use that word for,Both my twins cried soon after birth as for the question you can never really tell about speech well i never knew my twin son was severley autisic till three he is now 8 and still cannot talk, hearing is tested from around 8 weeks and then if they think theres a problem they will asses your child at at later date

You won't know for a very long time whether everything is what society would term as"normal". My younger sister wasn't diagnosed with autism until she was 10 years old.Basically as their brain and body develops you'll notice more and more personality and behavioural traits. Babies who can't hear shouldn't cry very much as they don't understand the effect but a hearing test will be performed around 8 weeks. Sight is a different matter, you can do little things once she gets to about 8 weeks such as shining a light and seeing if she follows it or shuts her eyes when you chine it at her. My sister wasn't found out to be blind until she was nearly a year old because there was nothing wrong with her eyes, in the end they found out it was like a lose connection between them and her brain and simply fixed it and now her sight is better than mine!Walking and crawling and things are all relative. Don't keep comparing your child to standard as you will be bound to find something your child starts doing late. It's not a competition and just because your child says mamma at 6 months doesn't mean they'll be amazing speakers or any cleverer. I could walk from 10 months but refused to let go of the furniture till I was 1 nd half cos I was a nervous child! IT's just about personality.Obviously if something doesn't develop until very late on, say they weren't even standing by 1 you'd probably need to ask advice.

You should talk to your doctor about this. But generally they do several tests at the hospital after the child is born, including a hearing test. I'd say, if they don't bring up any issues at the hospital, you have a healthy, normal child.
