Developmental Milestones
What are some of the developmental milestones my child should reach?
In the very beginning, it may seem that your baby does nothing but eat, sleep, cry, and fill his diapers. By the
end of the first month, he’ll be much more alert and responsive. Gradually he’ll begin moving his body more
smoothly and with much greater coordination—especially in getting his hand to his mouth. You’ll realize that he
listens when you speak, watches you as you hold him, and occasionally moves his own body to respond to you
or attract your attention.

If, during the second, third, or fourth weeks of your baby’s life, she shows any of the following signs of
developmental delay, notify your pediatrician.
What are some of the developmental milestones my child should reach by three months
of age?
By the time your baby is three months of age, she will have made a dramatic transformation from a totally
dependent newborn to an active and responsive infant. She’ll lose many of her newborn reflexes while
acquiring more voluntary control of her body. You’ll find her spending hours inspecting her hands and watching
their movements.
