Frequently asked questions
What are baby milestones?
Skills most children reach within a certain window: smiling, grasping, sitting, crawling, first words. The window matters, not the single day.
My child is later than others, is that bad?
Usually not. The ranges are wide, and children set different priorities. It only becomes notable when a milestone is clearly past the end of its range. Then the paediatrician is the right person to ask.
What is a developmental leap?
A phase in which the brain makes a jump and the child is temporarily fussier, clingier or sleeps worse. Afterwards it can usually do something new.
