Baby’s First Big Moments

From the birth of your baby to your baby’s first words, your baby is constantly changing. Your baby is constantly experiencing new milestones and developing new parts of his/her brain and body. As new parents, we are excited to watch them grow and develop and document the process along the way. Together, with posts my good friends and the most popular posts on the internet, I hope to provide you with resources and tips that will help you during your baby’s first year.

Baby’s First Milestones

Learning and understanding your baby’s milestones can feel overwhelming and if you are like me, can feel like a daunting process to weed out the “good” information out there. I have compiled some of my favorite sites for checklists, benchmarks, and red flags that I find extremely helpful in regards to your baby’s first year.
