Baby Development Stages
Babies develop at different rates, but there are general stages that most babies go through. Here's a brief overview of typical developmental milestones:
- Newborn (0-1 month): Babies focus on survival, learning to suck, swallow, and breathe. They begin to recognize familiar faces and voices.
- Infant (1-12 months): Babies develop motor skills, learn to sit, crawl, and eventually walk. They begin to communicate with sounds and gestures.
- Toddler (1-3 years): Toddlers develop language skills, learn to walk independently, and begin to understand simple commands.
- Preschooler (3-5 years): Preschoolers develop fine motor skills, learn to dress themselves, and begin to understand basic concepts like colors and shapes.
Remember that every baby is unique, and these are just general guidelines. Some babies may reach milestones earlier or later than expected.
