Mapping Progress

It is thrilling for parents to see their baby’s first smile, first grab, first roll over, first step, and first heart-melting “mama” and “papa”. Since babies are not identical, they may develop at different rates. Thus, the milestone chart is created as a guide for those parents who have doubts about their babies’ development. You can use these guidelines to observe age-appropriate activities for your baby, but remember that the milestones are created based on most babies’ achievements; a healthy child may achieve a milestone later than average. The chart is meant as a guide, not as a source of concern.
