In this article, I am sharing the baby’s development from a newborn to a toddler.
First-Time Parents? You might be curious about what to expect next from the child and how to tell if the child’s development is on track.
1 month old
Grow fast.
Make eye contact.
Cry for help.
React to the parents’ voices and smiles.
2 month old
Learn to smile and study faces.
Concentrate on looking at people than objects.
Murmur and gurgle in response to sounds.
Express anger.
3 month old
Smile back when the parent smile, the lovely smile involves the whole body like arms lift up, hands open wide and legs move.
Smile and gurgle to get the parent’s attention.
Imitate the parent’s facial expressions and certain movements.
4 month old
Push up arms when lying on stomach.

Laugh out aloud.
Enjoy playing and cry when playtime is disrupted.

Blow raspberry.
Love to play during feeding.

Rollover both ways.
Babble and make noises like squeals and murmurs.
Tend to be either gentle or active.
7 month old
Start crawling and scooting.
Learn to use your thumb and fingers.
Express anger in a strong way.
Mimic the parents’ sounds.
8 month old
Clap hands.
Respond when the parent calls the baby by name.
May get anxious or shy with strangers.
9 month old

Like playing with the parent.
For example, cooking with mama.
Learn objects.
10 month old
Try to stand.
Begin self-esteem.
Respond to clapping.

11 month old

12 month old

I hope all these pointers will help the parents to understand the baby’s development from a newborn to a toddler.
Do take note that the baby grows at his own pace. If the parents do not see any of the milestones of the baby month by month as stated, it is completely normal in the baby’s development.
