Babies grow fast, and it's hard to know whet’s normal. This free guide walks you through the first year, from 6 weeks to 12 months, so you know what to look for and when.

For each age, you'll find what most babies are doing with their big movements (head control, rolling, sitting, crawling, walking), their hands (grasping, passing toys, picking up food), and their social and language skills (smiling, babbling, first words, waving). Each stage also lists red flags, signs worth bringing up with your pediatrician.

The last section is for Cleveland-area families. It lists free local services you can call yourself, with no doctor's referral and no insurance needed, including in-home developmental evaluations for babies under 3, nurse visits after birth, and early childhood mental health support. Phone numbers and websites are included.

Every baby moves at their own pace, and this guide won't replace your pediatrician. It's meant to give you something to check against and a place to start if you have a question.
