Infant Development

1st Year Growth

You're probably wondering about infant development and growth stages in your baby and when he or she should be talking, walking and when to start giving solid food.

It is not unusual for an infant to "not fit" into the timeline set by this website or other resources. These times are approximations and observations concerning the average infant. Don't be too concerned if your baby doesn't develop exactly as suggested.

If you have concerns regarding your baby's growth and development, talk with your pediatrician about your concerns. Read more below:




Your baby's first year is an important stage of development. The areas of growth span from gaining control of the muscles to the development of the psyche. By the end of these first twelve months, your child will begin to walk, understand ideas such as object permanence, and begin to teeth. See table below:
