Many parents find it hard not to start comparing their baby’s development with other baby’s. This can lead to lots of anxiety since each child goes through the various development milestones at different ages and often in different order. One baby may have mastered crawling at 1 year while another is already walking. The best advice for new parents is to avoid a rush to judgment about your child’s development. If you have concerns, consult your pediatrician.
