Developmental milestones for babies have many names…
Developmental milestones for babies are many, and there is no standardized list. I chose Kidtogeny’s milestone names so they would be parent-friendly, telegraphic, and descriptive. However, they many not always match other names you’ll encounter.
If you want to check a milestone name on Kidtogeny’s Catalog list, scan Kidtogeny’s alphabetic listing of names below. When you find a promising name, click on it to see its illustration and written description.
