About Milestones

Babies develop on different timelines. Development happens on a continuum, so some babies will develop some skills earlier and some a little later. Here are some of the skills that are likely to emerge each month.

12 Month Old Milestones

• may stand alone

• speaks a few words

• deliberately drops objects

• gets into sitting position without help

• stands holding on to objects

• gymnurstic feeding

• playful at the breast

If your baby hasn't achieved these skills It's not necessarily a delay, but If you have concerns that's a good reason to ask your pediatrician or get help from a pediatric OT or PT.
