Birth to 1 year
Growth & Developmental Calendar Birth to 1 year This project was made possible by a collaboration between the University of Iowa College of Nursing and the Early Childhood Department of Northwest Area Education Agency in Sioux City, Iowa Early Childhood/Special Education Nurses: Jennifer Mars, Judy Turner, Sheila Finch University of Iowa, College of Nursing Lecturer: Carol Dupic Students: Jaime McCall, Paige Meester, & Kristina Wildeman WHAT IS NORTHWEST AREA EDUCATION AGENCY? THE AREA EDUCATION AGENCIES (AEAs) were created to offer services to children in Iowa most equitably, efficiently and economically. Most parents and community members don’t know the AEA until they need the AEA. If you are concerned about physical or learning delays exhibited in a child, we have caring and compassionate staff who will guide you in the right direction. We offer dozens of services via employees who are experts in their respective fields. We are proud to partner with local school districts, educators and administrators throughout northwest Iowa. Students continually excel and overcome obstacles because of strong collaboration and partnerships between AEA employees, school staff and families. Northwest AEA covers a 10 county area with several office locations. We provide support for children from birth to age 21. For more information or to speak with someone about a child’s concerns, call 712-222-6050. WHAT IS EARLY ACCESS?

DIRTY DIAPERS “By three to six weeks of age, some breastfed babies have only one bowel movement a week and still are normal. This happens because breast milk leaves very little solid waste to be eliminated from the child’s digestive system. Thus, infrequent stools are not a sign of constipation and should not be considered a problem as long as the stools are soft (no firmer than peanut butter), and your infant is otherwise normal, gaining weight steadily, and nursing regularly.” • If your baby is formula-fed, they should have at least one bowel movement a day. Having fewer than this and/or straining may be a sign of constipation. Consult your physician for advice on how to handle this problem.
