Development Milestones Checklist for infants and children

A lot of the parents of our young patients we see at our clinic for kids/ children physiotherapy ask us whether their baby is meeting their milestones- and whether at the right age!

Here we dive into the approximate age your child should be meeting their motor milestones!

Your child is not meeting the milestones on time?

Some fluctuations are normal- especially if it’s only a month or two. But if your child’s milestones are off by more than 1-2 months, you should consult with a physiotherapist and their pediatrician! Usually children can get back on track quickly with physiotherapy if any development delays they are caught early on!
