Tracking your child’s growth is more than just measuring height and weight. Developmental milestones help understand whether your child is learning, moving, and communicating as expected.

What to Watch For:

By 3 Months:
Smiling, responding to sounds, lifting head

By 6 Months:
Sitting with support, laughing, reaching for objects

By 9 Months:
Crawling, recognizing names, making sounds

By 12 Months:
Standing, saying simple words, waving goodbye

By 18 Months:
Walking independently, following simple instructions

By 2 Years:
Forming small sentences, naming objects

By 3 to 5 Years:
Climbing, storytelling, playing with other children

When to Seek Medical Advice:

• Lack of eye contact or smiling by 3 months
• No sitting or babbling by 9 months
• Not walking by 18 months
• No clear words by age 2
• Loss of any previously gained skill
