Skills, such as taking a first step, smiling for the first time, and waving “bye-bye,” are called developmental milestones. From birth to 5 years, your child should reach milestones in how he or she plays, learns, speaks, acts and moves. Parents and caregivers can use CDC’s “Learn the Signs. Act Early.” tools to track developmental milestones from as early as 2 months to help better understand children’s abilities and stay in tune with their developmental health.

CDC’s NEW Milestone Tracker App

Track your child’s milestones with CDC’s new, free Milestone Trackermobile app, now available for iOS and Android. Interactive checklists with photos and videos of developmental milestones help you know what to look for in your child. Use the app to complete a checklist for your child’s age, share a summary with your child’s healthcare provider, and get tips for encouraging your child’s development.

Missing Milestones? Time to Act Early

Making sure all children have the help and support they need to overcome challenges, find their strengths, and reach their full potential starts early.
You know your child best. If your child is missing milestones for his or her age or you have concerns about your child’s development,
If you or the doctor is still concerned,
  • Ask the doctor for a referral to a specialist; and
  • Call for a free evaluation to find out if your child can get services to help.

Don’t wait. Acting early can make a real difference!
