Welcome into the wonderful world of rsing a baby! This section is dedicated to addressing common questions and concerns that arise during your baby's first months. Whether you're curious about when your baby should undergo their next check-up, how they'll grow physically, or how they interact socially and emotionally - we've got you covered.
Feel confident with the AAP Schedule of Well-Child Care Visits for every milestone in those early months:
0 to 3 Months: Pay attention as your baby develops skills like head control, hand coordination, and facial expressions.

8 to 12 Months: Watch for growing autonomy and a preference for certn activities.
Your baby's physical milestones include:
Physical Skills:
Head Control: Your newborn can lift their head slightly when supported on their stomachs, soon progressing to head control when lying on their backs.
Hand Usage: Baby's ability to grasp and shake toys is a delightful sight!
Social Smiles: Your baby may be starting to develop smiles as they recognize familiar faces.
Imitation: They might mimic your facial expressions and gestures, communicating through their body language.
Object Recognition: Your baby's eyes track moving objects with growing coordination between hands and eyes.
Preference for Textures: Your baby shows a preference for softer stimuli over coarser ones.
For a healthier baby:
Healthy Habits to Master: Establishing routines like regular feeding times, clean bathtimes, and soothing bedtime stories sets up great start.
