It is very well-known that all infants develop their gross motor skills at various ages and each baby is different!!! However, we also know that there are some general guidelines for the typical developmental of gross motor skills as babies grow. Developmental milestones are things that most babies (75% or more) can do by a certain age. Here are some of the gross motor milestones:
2 months
4 months
6 months
9 months
12 months
15 months
18 months
If a child is failing to meet early developmental milestones like lifting their head, reaching, rolling over, crawling and even walking , there could be multiple explanations.
Issues with muscle tone are common in children and are often noticed by parents and caregivers before they’re diagnosed by medical experts.
Parents and caregivers should trust their instincts and talk to their child’s health care provider about their concerns.
Please reach out and feel free to contact us if you have questions or concerns about your child's early motor development.
