Developmental phases (0–12 months)
The first four weeks — meeting your baby and finding your feet together.
Weeks 4 to 8 — the first hints of a rhythm starting to appear.
Weeks 8 to 12 — your baby is waking up to the world, and to you.
Months 3 to 4 — patterns become clearer, and life starts to feel a little more steady.
Months 4 to 6 — new skills, new shifts, and a baby on the move (almost).
Months 6 to 8 — solids, sitting, scooting. Everything is changing at once.
Months 8 to 10 — your baby has things to say, and they're going to let you know.
Months 10 to 12 — heading toward the first birthday with a small person who knows what they want.
