There are a variety of stages of growth and development starting with Infancy, early childhood and pre-school. And the ending life in maturity at 65.
The infancy stage is characterized by rapid physical growth and development, high dependence on caregivers for survival, and limited communication abilities. This stage is also marked by the formation of secure attachments with primary caregivers, laying the foundation for future social and emotional development.
Growth and development are the two kinds of change that occur between infancy and adulthood.
One characteristic of the infancy stage is little motor development. There is also helplessness, an infant is dependent on others for everything. A major growth spurt is also a characteristic of infancy.

there are five characteristics of infancy: 1.Infancy is the shortest of all developmental periods. 2.Infancy is the time of radical adjustments. 3.Infancy is a plateau in development. 4.Infancy is a preview of later development. 5.Infancy is a hazardous period.
Head circumference is a direct reflection of head growth When the growth is below norms it is classed as microcephaly. The result of microcephaly is a degree of retardation in growth. If the microcephaly is benign, the limitation is not significant in development.
The hypthalamus indirectly controls growth from infancy to adulthood by keeping active and telling the growth hormone to regulate.
Pros of infancy and childhood include rapid growth and development, innocence, and forming strong bonds with caregivers. Cons include vulnerability to illness and injury, dependency on adults for care and support, and limited ability to communicate needs effectively.
