The first weeks
Congratulations on the new baby! In the first few weeks, your baby will mainly sleep and drink. It's important to make sure your baby eats every two to three hours and gets enough milk. During this time, your baby will also learn to get used to your voice and you. You can help your baby by talking to him a lot and calming him down when he cries.
The first smile
From around the 6th week your baby can start to smile. The first smile is an unforgettable moment for you as a parent and a sign that your baby feels comfortable and happy.
Motor development
Over the next few months, your baby will continue to develop his motor skills. Around the 3rd or 4th month, your baby will begin to roll over and move his arms and legs. Grabbing 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 his first words. It's important that you talk to your baby a lot and encourage him to talk. When your baby communicates with you, you should listen carefully and respond to him.
The crawling
Your baby will start crawling around the 8th month. Crawling is an important step in your baby's motor development and a sign that he or she feels safe in his or her environment.
The first steps
From around the 12th month your baby will start to take his first steps. This is a big step in your baby's development and a sign that he or she has grown physically.
Overall, the development of every baby is unique and individual. It's important to keep track of your baby's progress and enjoy the milestones they reach. If you have any questions or concerns, you should always consult a doctor or midwife.
