Watching your baby grow is one of the most exciting parts of parenting! Each smile, step, and word is a special milestone. At Happy Baby Clinic, we are here to guide you through every stage of your child’s development and answer any questions you may have.
What Are Growth Milestones?
Growth milestones are the skills most children achieve by a certain age. They cover important areas like physical movement, language, social skills, and thinking ability. Tracking milestones helps ensure your child is growing and developing as expected.
Key Milestones to Watch For
By 3 Months: Smiling at people, turning toward sounds, lifting head while lying on tummy.
By 6 Months: Sitting with support, babbling, showing curiosity about things around them.
By 9 Months: Standing with help, playing simple games like peek-a-boo, responding to their name.
By 12 Months: Taking first steps, saying simple words like “mama” or “dada,” exploring things around them.
Every child is unique, and reaching milestones may happen at slightly different times — and that’s perfectly normal!
When to Seek Guidance
If you notice that your child isn’t reaching several milestones or if you have any concerns about their growth or behavior, it’s important to talk to your pediatrician. Early support can make a big difference in helping your child reach their full potential.
