The first weeks
Congratulations on your new baby! In the first few weeks, your baby will mostly sleep and feed. It's important to make sure your baby feeds every two to three hours and gets enough milk. During this time, your baby will also learn to get used to you and your voice. You can help your baby by talking to them a lot and soothing them when they cry.
The first smile
Your baby may begin to smile around week 6. The first smile is an unforgettable moment for you as a parent and a sign that your baby is comfortable and happy.
Motor development
Over the next few months, your baby's motor skills will continue to develop. Around the third or fourth month, your baby will begin to roll over and move their arms and legs. Grasping objects will also become easier for your baby during this time.
The first words
From the 6th or 7th month, your baby will begin to say their first words. It's important that you talk to your baby a lot and encourage them to speak. When your baby communicates with you, you should listen attentively and respond.
The crawling
Your baby will begin crawling around the 8th month. Crawling is an important step in your baby's motor development and a sign that they feel safe in their environment.
The first steps
From around 12 months, your baby will begin taking their first steps. This is a major developmental milestone and a sign that they have grown physically.
Overall, every baby's development is unique and individual. It's important to keep track of your baby's progress and celebrate the milestones they achieve. If you have any questions or concerns, always consult a doctor or midwife.
