How do you know if your baby is progressing age-appropriately in their developmental skills? And what can you do if you have concerns and feel that you need help for your baby? The following checklist was developed to help you identify any developmental areas of concern you might have regarding your baby, and to be used as a starting point in discussing your concerns with your baby’s pediatrician.
