The first year of a baby’s life is full of growth, change, and excitement. Here’s a month-by-month guide to what you can expect during your baby’s first year.
Month 1: Focus on bonding, feeding, and sleeping patterns. Expect lots of sleeping and 2-3 hour feeding intervals.
Month 2: Look for the first real smiles and begin to see more alertness.
Month 3: Babies start to develop stronger neck muscles and can support their head better.
Month 4 to 6: Introduce solid foods, expect teething to begin, and watch as they start to roll over.
Month 7 to 9: Crawling may begin, and babies will start to sit up unassisted.
Month 10 to 12: Many babies begin to walk, say their first words, and show more distinct personality traits.
Each month brings new milestones and challenges. Enjoy every moment of your baby’s first year as they grow and explore the world around them.
