Monthly Milestones
Babies grow at an amazing rate. Besides growing taller and stronger, they learn so many new play, speech, and physical skills in their early months. Follow your child’s development and get more information on infant milestones by taking a look at our growth and development chart and the additional resources available through Pathways.
Tummy Time Central
Did you know that your new baby needs to spend time each day playing on his tummy? Tummy time for play is just as important as going to sleep on her back at night. For more ideas on how to engage your baby in their tummy time session, check out Tummy Time Central and be sure to watch the Essential Tummy Time Moves video (also available in Spanish).
Research at Pathways
2/3rds of pediatric therapists, who took part of a national survey conducted by Pathways, believe that more infants are missing some of their milestones. This survey and other research done at Pathways validates the importance of early intervention for every child who may have a motor delay. By acting quickly, you can take strides towards your child’s bright future.
