Importance of Tracking Milestones

Tracking your baby’s growth is more than just monitoring her height and weight gain in the early months. Even though babies develop at their own pace, every baby should meet the infant milestones by a certain age, or early intervention is needed. Knowing the physical, speech and play milestones for your baby and checking to be sure she is reaching them on time is crucial to ensure that any signs of delay are evaluated by your health care provider.
