MILESTONES ARE IMPORTANT What should my baby be doing? This is a question all parents ask. Although babies develop in their own individual and unique ways and at their own rates, there are certain developmental milestones to look for. Developmental milestones are skills most children achieve by a certain age. Your baby’s developmental milestones for ages birth to 12 months are listed in the parent guide included with each SmartNoggin® Milestone Maker™ toy. SmartNoggin’s mission is to help all children achieve their developmental Milestones, beginning at birth.
