Limitations
- This is a keepsake-style list, not a medical or developmental assessment. If you have a concern about your baby, talk to your pediatrician.
- The list has no dates or notes, so keep photos or a journal elsewhere if you want a record of when each milestone happened.
- Ticks are saved only in this browser on this device.
FAQs
- Q: Why are there no ages on the milestones?
- A: Babies develop at their own pace and not always in the same order, so this page gives no age targets and the order of the list is not a schedule. Ask your pediatrician what to expect for your child.
- Q: Is this a developmental screening?
- A: No. It is a simple list for keeping track of and celebrating moments. It cannot tell you whether your baby's development is on track.
- Q: Are my ticks saved?
- A: Yes, in your browser on this device. They are not sent anywhere and do not follow you to another device or browser.
