Postnatal growth refers to the development and physical changes that occur in a human being after birth, continuing until maturity. This period encompasses rapid growth and development in various aspects, including physical size, motor abilities, cognitive functions, and social behavior. Postnatal growth is influenced by genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors. The growth process is typically divided into specific stages, each characterized by distinctive patterns of physical, cognitive, and emotional development. 

The first year of life is a period of extraordinary growth. Infants typically double their birth weight by about 4 to 6 months of age, and they triple it by the end of their first year. Height also increases significantly during this stage, with babies growing about 25 centimeters (10 inches) in their first year. This rapid growth is supported by the nutrients derived from breast milk or formula, which provide essential vitamins, minerals, fats, and proteins necessary for proper development. During this period, the bones are soft and pliable, and the baby’s muscles are still developing. As infants grow, they begin to gain control over their movements, such as lifting their heads, rolling over, sitting up, and eventually crawling.

Cognitive and neurological development during the first year is also notable. Babies begin to explore their environment through _____ ______ _________ _______ _______ _______ ______ ________ ______ _____ ____.
