Freud proposed that psychological development in childhood takes place in the following stages (by order): oral, anaI, phallic, latency, and genital.

The oral stage goes from birth to eighteen months of age. The main focus is pleasure seeking through the infant’s mouth, they need to taste and suck. if not, the infant will be fixated leading to adult habits such as smoking, thumb-sucking, over-eating, and baiting nails.
