What Are Baby Leaps?

Baby leaps refer to significant developmental milestones that occur as your baby grows. These milestones are divided into stages based on age and include physical, cognitive, and social developments. Tracking these leaps helps parents and caregivers understand their baby's progress and identify any potential delays.

Developmental Stages

Baby development is typically divided into several stages:

1. Newborn (0-3 months): Focus on basic survival skills like breathing, feeding, and sleeping.
2. Infant (4-12 months): Rapid physical and cognitive development, including rolling, sitting, and first words.
3. Toddler (1-3 years): Development of motor skills, language, and social interactions.
4. Preschool (3-5 years): Preparation for school readiness through play, exploration, and social skills.
