baby development

While every baby develops at his own pace, experts can guess when certain milestones are likely to happen. Use this baby development chart as a guideline during your little one’s first year. Sounds fascinate your baby, especially high tones and pitches. She's also interested in hearing you talk, and will stare intently at your mouth as you speak to her.

Each baby development in his own manner, so it’s impossible to tell exactly when your child will perfect a given skill. Although the developmental milestones listed in this book will give you a general idea of the changes you can expect as your child gets older, don’t be alarmed if his development takes a slightly different course. Alert your pediatrician if your baby displays any of the following signs of possible developmental delay in the eight-to twelve-month age range.

If you’re curious about baby’s growth, check out the guidelines for wonderful weeks of baby development. And don't worry if your baby isn't doing exactly what's described in the baby milestone chart every child grows in a way that's entirely unique and individual.
