Name and describe the infant states experienced in the first few months of life.

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: Most newborns experience a period of quiet alertness shortly after they are born. Their eyes are open and they are attentive to what is going on around them, but their bodies are very still and their breathing is regular. This initial period of quiet alertness is usually followed by a state of quiet sleep. Newborns typically sleep 16 to 18 hours each day. The last state on the continuum is crying, which is how infants signal that they need something, although they also may cry for no discernible reason.
