Infant are really tender humans that should be handled with care and much love. They are very little, cute creatures. The time of infancy is a time they learn alot of things, they practice what they see, they learn to sit alone, they crawl with their stomach touching the floor, and they creep on their hands and knees, they learn to identify people and objects, they learn to talk (at this time they can't say what they feel, they can't say what happened to them, they can't say what they see) they only cry when they are in pain and laugh when they find something amazing to them. They are totally helpless and need not anything to endanger them.
