MCI September 2012 Paediatrics
1. At what age does child know his gender ?
a. 1 yr
b. 1- 2 yr
c. 21/2- 3 yrs!
d. 4 yrs
A child can tell his age gender by 3 years of age. He can recall a story as well for example if some child ate his lunch then he would come home and can complain to the mother for the same. A child at 3 yrs has 20 teeth was asked in previous examination. A child at three can draw a circle at 3 yrs.
So when you sit in next exam, do invest 15 minutes into what a child can do ? at 2 yrs ,3 yrs and 4 yrs. this is asked as the preschool age group shapes the personality of child and therefore one of the most important periods of growth.
Reference: DIAMS pediatric notes .
2. Not a sign of good attachment of baby to breast :
a. Baby suckles with lower lip inverted!
b. Upper part of areola visible.
c. Baby suckles in slow pauses

Head control comes at 4 months and child placed in prone position can raise his head of couch but not the chest.
A child at 6 months can raise his head neck and chest off the couch using strength of his shoulder muscles.
