Baby’s Milestones: 1 to 18 months old

Mar 14

Your baby's incredible first year is packed with significant milestones, each more thrilling to see than the last. Throughout that first year, it may feel like your baby transforms overnight, evolving from a tiny infant to a full-fledged toddler within months. Remember, while understanding the signs of child development is crucial, every baby is unique. Some may hit particular milestones sooner than others.

If your baby has other signs of food sensitivity, is very fussy most of the time, has a fever, or other digestive issues (excessive spitting up, vomiting, blood in stool, absence of poop), make sure to contact the baby's doctor immediately. If the baby is only upset while passing gas and the above techniques help, it’s likely just normal infant gas and should get better with time.
