Hi everyone!!I just started maternity nursing and I'm having an extremely hard time remembering the growth and developmental miles stones, some are common sense like obviously a 1 month old can't walk or talk but some are very hard to remember like..who can bat at objects, transfer objects hand to hand eyc! It's kinda driving me nuts ...and my book and power point don't entirely match!!please help!

Summer Days 203 Posts Sep 8, 2014 I am unable to copy paste today, not sure why but here it goes.Go to youtube and search for "Infant Developmental Milestones [undergroundMed]". This is about a 7 minute video on milestones which I found helpful during my peds rotation. I watched it over and over again and practised lotsa nclex questions on developmental milestones. Also watch the other milestone videos, soon enough it'll settle in. All the best, cheers.

If you don't have much experience with children (your own, family, babysitting, etc) the info can be overwhelming!
