Frequently Asked Questions

Why do doctors use weeks for newborns?
Weekly tracking captures rapid development in the first months. A 4-week-old and an 8-week-old are at very different developmental stages. Pediatricians typically switch to months at around 3 months.
What are key developmental milestones?
2 months: social smiles. 4 months: holds head up, rolls. 6 months: sits with support. 9 months: crawls. 12 months: first steps. All children develop at different rates — consult your pediatrician.
