Remember: Every Child is Different
Developmental milestones are guidelines, not deadlines. Every child develops at their own pace. Some walk early, some talk early, some do things in a different order. That's all normal.
0-6 Months
In the first six months, babies are learning to lift their heads, roll over, sit with support, and respond to sounds and faces. They're also developing their social smiles and beginning to recognize familiar people.
6-12 Months
Babies start sitting independently, crawling, pulling up to stand, and may take first steps. They begin babbling, saying first words, and understanding simple commands. They also develop object permanence.
When to Seek Help
If you're concerned about your child's development, talk to your pediatrician. Early intervention can make a big difference. Trust your instincts—you know your child best.
