Developmental Milestones
Children grow fast. It can be hard to know what to expect.
Skills like taking their first step, smiling for the first time and waving are called developmental milestones. Children typically reach a number of milestones in how they play, learn, speak, act and move.
With the CDC’s Milestone Tracker App , you can learn about these important milestones and how they relate to your child’s development. You can also learn actions to take if your child is not reaching these milestones.
The app features
An interactive milestone checklist for children ages 2 months through 5 years. Available in English or Spanish.
